So where is the 2014 best restaurant in the world?

In a major surprise to the restaurant world, the former number one restaurant in the world according to S.Pellegrino has made it back to the top spot.

Noma is a Danish restaurant that had a food poisoning incident in the last year. It has now made it back to being The S.Pellegrino World’s Best Restaurant. The announcement was made on 28 April 2014 in London.

It is now a shining example on how a food business can make it back to the heights after a brand damaging food poisoning incident. The general perception is that a food poisoning incident that makes it into the media, can be enough to destroy a business. Noma has shown that by hard work and commitment, a food business can conquer the worst thing that can happen to it.

It is has been a remarkable food business for many years and the previous number one ranking for three consecutive years shows this. For it to have overcome the difficulties of the last year, and reclaim the position as the best restaurant in the world, is a credit to the owner and staff.

The highest spot claimed by an Australian restaurant was number 32 out of the top 50. Attica in Melbourne is now the holder of the Best Restaurant in Australasia and has held it for the second year in a row.

Spain did well this year with three of the top 10 positions, and the UK and USA had two.
