William Reed Business Media recently unveiled its annual compilation of “The World’s 50 Best Restaurants,” declaring Disfrutar in Barcelona as the premier dining establishment, closely trailed by Asador Etxebarri and Table.

This week saw the unveiling of William Reed Business Media’s annual list of “The World’s 50 Best Restaurants.” One of the most eagerly awaited occasions on the culinary calendar is the ranking.

The “Oscars of gastronomy,” as Statista’s Anna Fleck puts it, have crowned Barcelona’s Disfrutar the best restaurant in the world, ahead of Asador Etxebarri in Atxondo and Table in Paris.

While three restaurants in Spain, one in France, and one in Denmark made up five of the top ten restaurants this year, Maido in Lima, Quintonil in Mexico City, and Don Julio in Buenos Aires all did well in Latin America. Gaggan, a Bangkok-based player in rank 9, was Asia’s best performer.

This year, only one American restaurant—ranked sixth—cut. Atomix, located in Manhattan’s Koreatown and serving modern Korean cuisine, moved up two spots from the previous year.

The British publication Restaurant Magazine introduced the World’s 50 Best Restaurants twenty years ago as an alternative to the Michelin star rating system. The ranking has come under fire recently for allegedly being elitist and for mostly including eateries in Europe and a few major global cities. It has also been said that jurors have favored restaurant owners they know.

Recently, GreatGameIndia reported that Dr. Valter Longo, a gerontology professor and head of the U.S.C. Longevity Institute, advocates for consuming significantly less food as the key to living beyond 100.
