The results of a survey by Britain's Restaurant magazine were unveiled.
As the results of a survey by Britain's Restaurant magazine were unveiled, the three brothers who run Spain's El Celler de Can Roca were hoping that it would keep its position as the world's best restaurant. The Girona-based restaurant, known for its dishes inspired by perfumes, took the top spot from Danish foraging restaurant Noma in 2013.
The World's 50 Best Restaurants list has been compiled by more than 900 international experts for Restaurant magazine.
The results were to be announced in a ceremony attended by top chefs from around the world at London's Guildhall at 2030 GMT.
At El Celler, the eldest brother Joan Roca heads the kitchen, while the youngest Jordi is pastry chef and Josep is head sommelier and in charge of front of house.
"It's been a magical year, full of projects, emotion, sharing and dreams becoming reality," Joan Roca told a press conference in London on Monday ahead of the announcement of the new results.
The magazine praised the restaurant last year for making "emotional cuisine" which takes diners back to childhood memories.
