Why not try the top 50 restaurants? This list was just updated recently and no one was surprised to see Noma at #1. Good luck getting a reso at any of the top ten restaurants. Spain has become more of a culinary treasure nabbing three spots in the top ten. NYC is still represented with Per Se, and Eleven Madison Park. Alinea in Chicago places in 7th, down one place from #6 last year. To be on the list is a blessing and a curse. Sure the notoriety guarantees a booked restaurant for years and a huge career boost for the chefs and management. However, the fame can be overwhelming for some places and will lead to thousands of phone calls and dare I say..too much press! La Grenouillere was awarded "The One to Watch" Award..possibly a contender for the #1 spot one day...book a table while you can..chop chop!!
