The top 50 best restaurants in the world list has been released, with six Italian restaurants making it to the classification.
The awards are organised by Restaurant Magazine and are now in their 10th year.
Prizes are given to a pool of restaurants that form part of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy with 27 regions around the world and 31 members in each region made up of food critics, chefs and writers.
The awards are obviously not without controversy though, as different judges visit different restaurants with criteria possibly being interpreted in different ways.
For food buffs who know their stuff and can afford to eat in these restaurants, there will be a “World’s 50 Best Restaurants Guide”.
You can see all the restaurant winners here.
