DANISH restaurant Noma in Copenhagen was crowned the world's best restaurant for the second year in a row in an annual list, beating out top eateries in Spain, Italy, Britain, the United States and elsewhere.
The S Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants, produced by Britain's Restaurant Magazine, were unveiled in London after voting by a panel of more than 800 chefs, restaurateurs, journalists and food experts who rated Noma's leadership of a "new guard" of global cuisine.
Spain's El Celler de Can Roca came second followed by fellow Spanish restaurant Mugaritz, Italy's Osteria Francescana, Britain's Fat Duck and Alinea in the US.
Noma, located in a converted dockside shipping warehouse, toppled a four-year reign by Spain's El Bulli restaurant last year at the awards, often referred to as the "Oscars" of the restaurant industry.
"We feel pretty good about it," said Noma's 33-year-old chef, Rene Redzepi.
"I think now we are as successful as we can be. Now we are working for the momentum of our region. It will be good for the other great chefs that are yet to be discovered. I think that will be the big impact."
Redzepi serves a new kind of Nordic cuisine such as musk ox and smoked marrow, sea urchin and dill or beef cheek and pear.
"We heartily congratulate Rene Redzepi for the difficult task of maintaining his position as the No. 1 restaurant on our list, which underscores his commitment to redefining Nordic cuisine," Restaurant magazine Editor William Drew said in a statement with the winning results for the 10th year of the awards.
Drew said this year's list spanned a greater geographical spread than previous years and recognized the influence of "fledgling" culinary nations such as Peru and Russia.
El Bulli was closed this year and therefore not included on the list, allowing El Celler de Can Roca and Mugaritz to clamber in behind Noma.
