Spain`s El Celler De Can Roca named world`s best restaurant
Baku, May 3 (AZERTAC). Spain`s El Celler De Can Roca edged past Denmark`s Noma and Italy`s Osteria Francescana to be named the world`s best restaurant on Monday in a ceremony in London.
The restaurant owned by the three Roca brothers Joan, Jordi and Josep, captured the top spot on The World`s 50 Best Restaurants list organized by Britain`s Restaurant magazine and sponsored by the mineral water company S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna.
Another Spanish eatery, Mugaritz, in San Sebastian, and New York`s Eleven Madison Park rounded out the top five.
"El Celler de Can Roca in Girona has long been hailed as one of Spain`s most exciting places to eat, and having spent two years at No. 2 on the list, the three brothers have swapped places with Denmark`s Noma, which held the top ranking for the last three years," organizers said in a statement.
"The Roca brothers` restaurant has gained global acclaim for its combination of Catalan dishes and cutting-edge techniques and the passion that they share for hospitality," it added.
Spanish restaurants captured three of the top 10 spots and five on the entire list announced at London`s Guildhall. Arzak, also in San Sebastian, came in at No. 8, just behind London`s Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, which was seventh.
