The 50 Best Restaurant awards, founded by British magazine Restaurant, started as an informal list that was compiled by calling around the hospitality industry. However, over the past few years the list's popularity has grown expotentially to become a global phenomenon. When Noma won in 2010, 100,000 people tried to book the following day, and when El Celler de Can Roca won in 2013, its website received 12 million hits. Reaching the top spot can transform a restaurant's fortunes.
This year Massimo Bottura's Osteria Francescana (pictured below) has been knocked from pole position by another Italian chef, this time at Eleven Madison Park in New York.
The highest performing British entrant is London's Clove Club. Time to get booking...
