The livestream announcing the World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants for 2016<\/a> wrapped up about an hour ago, resulting in a surprise at the top, since the assumption<\/a> was that #1 would go to one of the two restaurants which had been trading off that spot recently—either Noma or El Celler de Can Roca.<\/p>\n
