Hungry...hm...WORLD'S 50 BEST RESTAURANTS

First published by Restaurant magazine in 2002 and now in its seventh year, The S.Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants is recognised around the world as the most credible indicator of the best places to eat on Earth.

The list is compiled by The Nespresso World's 50 Best Academy, a group of prominent food writers, critics, publishers and commentators, who each represent a different global region and chair a carefully selected voting panel for that region. This ensures a truly authoritative list and one that is becoming more and more globally representative each year.

On short, first ten include...3 SPANISH Restaurants...surprise...and only 2 French. Rather strange...there is a British Restaurant on 2nd place...and totally strange.. there are 2 American Restaurants in top 10... good it's not McDonald's :-).
Below the top 10 & the link for those who really want to dive into it :-).. ah, BON APETIT!!! :-):
1 El Bulli - Spain (World's Best Restaurant; Best in Europe)
2 The Fat Duck - UK
3 Pierre Gagnaire - France
4 Mugaritz - Spain
5 The French Laundry - USA (Best Restaurant in Americas)
6 Per Se - USA
7 Bras - France
