For some people, travel is not so much about the country, but about the way of life of local people, their way of life, cuisine and history. Therefore, it is not surprising that every year gastronomic tours are gaining more and more popularity. In which countries are the best restaurants located? And is there one that deserves the title of the most “delicious” in the world?
London's famous restaurants
This city is the world capital of high-class catering establishments. The Hakkasan Hanway Place restaurant is especially popular. Its menu contains exclusively dishes of authentic Chinese cuisine, for example, a Peking duck with caviar. Chef Tong Chi Hwi loves to delight his guests with personal culinary delights. The restaurant also has a variety of desserts and drinks, including fine wines. The interior deserves special attention: these are rooms thoroughly imbued with the culture of the East, which is expressed in carved wooden screens made of black oak, ancient statuettes covered with gold, and other decorative elements. Almost all people in the reviews about the institution put a mark of "excellent."
London's top restaurants also include Sketch Lecture Room and Library on their list. This Art Deco masterpiece is comfortably housed in Christian Dior's former salon. The menu of the restaurant includes dishes of British, European and French cuisines, as well as a large wine list. The restaurant reviews are positive, but some visitors note excessive pathos in the interior design.
The best restaurants in Italy
First of all, pay attention to the institution in the city of Modena, which is called Osteria Franciscana. The owner, who is also a chef, with his golden hands produces something that no gourmet in the world can refuse. He puts the maximum of his imagination into the cooking process, likes to experiment and create real works of art from products. The interior in the institution is the simplest and unremarkable, but they love it not at all for the style of design.
Another highly rated Italian restaurant is Piazza Duomo in Alba. The owner of the establishment is also a chef, but he has his own team. Together they prepare delicious dishes that will satisfy the desires of the most demanding foodie. The restaurant is dominated by a pleasant atmosphere created by modern designers. On the ceiling is a lovely fresco depicting grape leaves. The menu is quite diverse: there are fish, and mushrooms, and seafood. The people who were there write in reviews that this restaurant is very "warm" and it seems that you are at home. They also note that the dishes in this institution are a gourmet's paradise.
The most “delicious” Spanish restaurants
According to TripAdvizor, Martin Berasategui in San Sebastian is the best restaurant in the world! Such an assessment was given to him by the people who had lunch there. The “trick” of the institution is that the chef with his team prepares dishes that cannot be found in any other place on planet Earth. Unless it's Martin Berasategui in another country. Martin, the owner of the restaurant, designed the rooms simply but with taste, making them look very elegant. The menu is varied, it probably has everything, even the liver of a monkfish and a stewed scar. But the main attraction is the way the dish is served - a real work of art. Visitors say dinner will cost a lot here, but it's worth it.
But the best restaurants in Spain do not end there. According to another publication, the title of the first in the world deserves El Celler de Can Roca in Girona. The institution is run by three brothers who have merged the experimental serving of dishes and avant-garde Spanish cuisine, plus 3 Michelin stars, and a 40-year-old restaurant can deservedly receive the title of the best in the world. The modern interior, a huge wine list and a wide variety of goodies make visitors stay there longer. A visit to such an institution will also cost a tidy sum, but it will be remembered for a lifetime.
Gourmet Restaurants in France
According to the same TripAdvizor service, Maison Lameloise in Chania takes the third place in the rating “The Best Restaurant in the World”. The institution is located in the hotel of the same name and has 3 Michelin stars. Vacationers write that this restaurant allows you to not just relax, but to do it with taste, because the dishes served here will be rated at “5” by even the most sophisticated gourmet.
Another holder of three Michelin stars , Guy Savoy, is also popular. This restaurant in Paris is notable for the fact that the menu changes every season. Chef Guy Savoy designed his restaurant in a modern style, which uses mainly white and brown colors. Signature dishes include artichoke soup with truffles and puff brioche with mushrooms, sea bass baked with scales in creamy truffle sauce, and rhubarb ice cream with flowers and vanilla sauce. In the reviews, many vacationers rated the restaurant with the highest score.
Gastronomic tour of Russia: which restaurant deserves the title of the best?
This, of course, is not the best restaurant in the world, but the opportunity to be higher than everyone else in the country also needs to be earned. This title was awarded to the institution "Pushkin", which is located in Moscow. The restaurant easily transfers visitors to the 1800s. Well-designed interior, made in the style of the Pushkin era, children's performances, live music and many traditional Russian dishes prepared according to noble recipes make this place a favorite among many Muscovites and guests of the capital.
The only and the best restaurant in the world - is there such a restaurant?
It is difficult to name such an institution, because there is no single system for assessing the place of public catering by consumers. And there are a lot of other publications, and all of them determine the rating according to their own rules. For example, restaurateurs and gastronomic critics compiled their list - the top 10, which was published in the British magazine The Restaurant Magazine:
- The first place was given to the Spanish institution El Celler de Can Roca in Girona.
- The second row of honor is occupied by the Italian restaurant Osteria Franciscana in Modena.
- Noma - Copenhagen.
- Central Restaurant - Lima.
- Eleven Madison Park - New York.
- Mugaritz - San Sebastian.
- Dinner by Heston Blumenthal - London.
- Narisawa - Tokyo.
- DOM - Sao Paulo.
- Gaggan - Bangkok.
It's so interesting in every city, in any country to visit restaurants and taste dishes from famous and simply talented chefs. So why not make your own rating of the best restaurants in the world?
