The World\u2019s 50 Best Restaurants for 2017<\/a> were announced earlier today, and it turns out I’ve been to seven of them, one fewer than off the 2016 list<\/a>. But that’s only because Chef Ren\u00e9 Redzepi shuttered Noma, which held the #1 spot back when I had my birthday dinner there<\/a> in 2015. You’ll find my reactions to those seven meals here, as well as a write-up of Manresa<\/a>, which came in at #90.<\/p>\n

My reaction to this year’s list is—man, do I need to get to Spain!<\/p>\n

Also—I really must<\/em> go back to Eleven Madison Park. For—as you’ll see if you read my linked review below—while the food was flawless during my visit, I felt the presentation and ambience had been harmed by an overreaction on the part of the restaurant to a then-recent negative review. (At least, that’s my<\/em> interpretation of what I experienced here.) Now that time has passed and that year’s historical NYC menu is no more, I hope to encounter the restaurant anew.<\/p>\n

I doubt my travels will allow me to hit any additional restaurants off this list during 2017—none from either Helsinki or St. Petersburg are present after all—but perhaps 2018 will be kinder toward me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
