This year’s “World’s 50 Best” restaurants list was released. Generally, due to their rich in food culture, France or Italy would be guessed as the country with the most restaurants names in the list.
However, the recognition of most restaurants to be in the list of “World’s 50 Best” restaurants goes to Spain. Six of their restaurants earned honours this summer on the 2023 list.
Italy had five and France had four, as did Peru, where the capital city of Lima is home to the No. 1 spot.
Spain is known to have deep, rich culinary heritage and a decades-long history with the “world’s best” designation. The famed restaurant El Bulli, which closed in 2011, earned the No. 1 spot a record five times, starting in 2002 when the list debuted.
Several of the chefs at the Spanish restaurants honoured with this year’s awards – where Spain took the Nos. 2, 3 and 4 rankings, plus three more in the top 50 – trained at El Bulli under Ferran Adrià, a pioneer of molecular gastronomy or cocina de vanguardia, as Adrià prefers to call it.
