The World’s Top 50 Restaurants (according to the U.K.’s Restaurant Magazine) were announced today*, but the list actually leaked early: Both Spanish newspaper El Pais and Brazil’s Folha De. S.Paulo published the winners before the official announcement. El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Spain, has stolen Noma’s crown after a three-year reign. Other notable developments: Eleven Madison Park is now the top-ranked restaurant in the United States, snagging the No. 5 spot. Per Se got bumped to No. 11 and Alinea’s now at No. 15.
