World's best restaurants 2008 winners list:
Restaurant magazine produces an annual list of the 50 best restaurants in the world based on a poll of international chefs and critics. In 2006 El Bulli in Catalonia (Spain) pushed the 2005 winner The Fat Duck down to second place. The two top restaurants are forerunners of molecular gastronomy. Critics have voiced concerns that the list is too Western focused, citing for example, there is only one restaurant from Asia in the top 50, while two of the restaurants on the list reside in California. The following gives the magazines global renound rankings from 2002-2008. Would love to hear from our readers if you have visited any of these.
