Eleven Madison Park in New York, run by chef Daniel Humm and his business partner Will Guidara, has been announced as the World’s Best Restaurant on the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list for 2017.
In a set of emotional speeches, Humm and Guidara took to the stage to recount their story and share just how great it felt to finally reach the top of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list. They thanked the crew back in New York before asking them not to trash the restaurant with a big party: “We can trash it together when we get back," said Guidara. The duo both used the stage to thank each other, highlighting what is a unique relationship between front-of-house and kitchen – a partnership that has now catapulted them to the top of the culinary ladder.
Massimo Bottura and his Osteria Francescana restaurant dropped down from first place to second. Third spot on the list went to the Roca brothers and their El Celler de Can Roca restaurant in Spain, for which they also won the Ferrari Trento Art of Hospitality Award, while fourth went to Mirazur in France and fifth spot went to Central in Lima.
The World’s Best Pastry Chef award went to cronut creator Dominique Ansel, the Highest Climber Award went to Blue Hill at Stone Barns.
