The No. 1 Restaurant in the World
The top restaurant in the world is a British bistro called The Fat Duck. That's the word from an annual list of the world's best eateries compiled by Restaurant magazine with the help of more than 500 chefs and experts, report AFP and The Guardian. This is quite a feat for an establishment located in the country that is often the butt of jokes about its bad food. But the Brits are having the last laugh. This country is home to the largest number of top restaurants with 14 English restaurants making The World's 50 Best Restaurant's 2005 awards. Eight of the restaurants are in France and six are in the United States. Only one is in Asia.
The No. 1 Fat Duck is located in the village of Berkshire, west of London. It features dishes made from original recipes, such as sardine on toast sorbet, snail porridge, and bacon and egg ice cream. It's expensive. Lunch typically costs $71, while dinner runs $187--per person. Even if you don't agree with exact ratings on the list, look at it this way: It's a guide to the best food around the world. Start planning your vacation!
