Best restaurants of the world

Spanish restaurant El Celler de Can Roca regained its title as the world鈥檚 best restaurant, fending off previous winner Noma, with which it has alternated the top honor in recent years.

The Copenhagen restaurant dropped two places to No. 3, knocking chef-owner Rene Redzepi off the top spot he had held last year and for three previous years at the annual fine dining ceremony held in London鈥檚 Guildhall.

El Celler de Can Roca, run by three brothers in Girona, Spain, since 1986, was described as 鈥渉ospitality at its finest鈥 by organizers and took second place in 2014 after knocking Noma from the top perch in 2013.

Italy鈥檚 Osteria Francescana in Modena was the near winner this year, moving up one place to No. 2, while Central in Lima climbed 11 places to settle in at No. 4, pushing New York鈥檚 Eleven Madison Park to fifth place.

The top 10 was rounded off by Mugaritz in San Sebastian, Spain, London鈥檚 Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, Narisawa in Tokyo, D.O.M in Sao Paulo and Gaggan in Bangkok.

European restaurants dominated the top 50, taking 18 of the remaining 25 places for popular locations in Spain and France, along with White Rabbit, a new entry from Russia.

Other notable winners include Helene Darroze at her eponymous Paris restaurant and at the Connaught in London, named the World鈥檚 Best female chef, and French chef Daniel Boulud, best known for the New York-based Daniel, who picked up this year鈥檚 Lifetime Achievement Award.

The awards have become a coveted honor for high-end restaurants around the world.
