A new ranking of the world's 50 best restaurants was unveiled today in London, and a new restaurant took the top spot for the first time in several years.
Organized by Restaurant magazine and co-sponsored by Pellegrino and Acqua Panna, the World's 50 Best list is based on the votes of more than 900 international leaders in the restaurant industry.
There were a few newcomers this year, including Melbourne's Attica, which made its first ever appearance at the number 21 spot.


25. Hof Van Cleve
Kruishoutem, Belgium
Last year's ranking: 12
Years on list: 4
Located in western Belgium, the kitchen at Hof Van Cleve is headed by chef Peter Goossens.
He serves classic Belgian and French fare like waffles and frites with a focus on fresh produce.


New York, New York
Last year's ranking: 19
Years on list: 8
Eric Ripert's Le Bernardin really knows its seafood. The high-end restaurant serves only the freshest dishes in creative ways, like the poached skate with warm oysters, bacon mignonette, and Dijon mustard sherry emulsion.
Its motto? “The fish is the star of the plate.”
5. Eleven Madison Park
New York, New York
Last year's ranking: 10
Years on list: 4
Swiss chef Daniel Humm gets to show his playful side at NYC's Eleven Madison Park with his theatrical, $195-per-person tasting menu.
From a carrot tartare prepared at the table with a meat grinder to a cheese course served with grapes in a picnic basket, the dishes are always a surprise.
