The Roca Brothers from El Celler De Can Roca in Spain have reclaimed the title as the best restaurant in the world on The World’s 50 Best Restaurants List for 2015. The brothers, whose restaurant is in Girona, Spain, jumped back into the top spot for a second time after dropping to second in 2014.
Second place on the list went to the energetic Italian chef Massimo Bottura and his Osteria Francescana restaurant in Modena, Italy. The happy chef and team climbed one place from third in 2014.
Last year’s winner and overall four-time-winner Noma with chef René Redzepi dropped from the number one spot in 2014 to third on the list, though the chef promised outside to reclaim his title at the top.
Ahead of the big event, French chef Hélène Darroze received the Veuve Clicquot World’s Best Female Chef and New York-based chef Daniel Boulud was honoured as the recipient of the World's 50 Best Restaurants Lifetime Achievement Award. "One to watch" is Sepia, Sydney (Australia). Albert Adria was awarded as the World's Best Pastry Chef, while the Chefs’ Choice is Eleven Madison Park restaurant in New York.
