New York city’s Eleven Madison Park climbed to No. 5.

British celebrity chef Heston Blumenthal’s London concept diner Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, the highest new-entry restaurant into the top 50 list last year, moved up two spots to 7th this year, but his more established Fat Duck restaurant in Bray slipped 20 spots to take position No. 33.

The US and France tied as most successful countries in the awards, sponsored by S. Pellegrino & Acqua Panna, each with six restaurants making it into the top 50 list this year.
