Enrico Crippa from Alba’s Piazza Duomo celebrates being placed at No.15
The top spot was taken by New York’s Eleven Madison Park, as last year’s No.1, Osteria Francescana, slipped to No.2. France, Spain and the USA all stole six spots in the top 50 – but the UK wasn’t forgotten, with three London hot-spots making it in: Dinner by Heston Blumenthal (36), The Ledbury (27) and The Clove Club (26 – read our review from earlier in the year here). One of the newest additions to London’s bakery scene, creator of the Cronut and conveniently close to No.3 St James’s Street, Dominique Ansel was named The World’s Best Pastry Chef; while Heston Blumenthal walked away with the Diners Club® Lifetime Achievement Award.
