UK's top contender - The Fat Duck at Bray |
Top
Spot Goes To Spain
Restaurants
in Asia and those serving Asian cuisine barely figure in the new
list of the world's 50 best restaurants by Restaurant Magazine. The
sole Asian venue is Bukhara (46th), in New Delhi. There's nowhere in
Japan or China and the other places serving Asian dishes are in
London (Nobu 12th and Hakkasan 36th). |
U.K.
restaurants that made the list include Le Gavroche and St. John's.
Tom Aikens, Sketch, the Waterside Inn, the Connaught, Le Manoir aux
Quat' Saisons and the Wolseley all dropped out this year.
El
Bulli and the Fat Duck are known for molecular gastronomy, the
experimental cuisine also practiced by Andoni Aduriz at Mugaritz,
which like El Bulli is in the Basque country of northeast Spain. The
biggest climber was Italy's Gambero Rosso, located in San Vincenzo.
