Tonight in Melbourne, Australia, the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list 2017 has been announced and the number one is Eleven Madison Park. Growing rapidly from its humble roots as a simple magazine feature back in 2002, the list has become the ultimate guide for foodies and food lovers globally. It’s helped celebrate the genius and talent of chefs all around the world, and made it possible for new trends to develop quickly, most notably the New Nordic cuisine thanks to the incredible success of René Redzepi’s Noma. Merely placing on the list is an incredible honour for any restaurant but seizing the hallowed top spot is one of the highest accolades that the culinary world can offer.

We are updating the list in real time, straight from the ceremony room in Melbourne.
