A restaurant in a small Thames-side town west of London has been voted the best in the world. A panel of more than 500 international chefs, critics and restaurateurs has given the prize (April 18) to Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck in Bray, Berkshire.
The accolade, in Restaurant magazine’s “The World’s 50 Best Restaurants” awards, means the English eatery has raced ahead of top restaurants in Australia, France, Spain and the USA.
Fourteen of the top 50 establishments are in England, including Gordon Ramsay and Nobu in London, Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir aux Quat’ Saisons in Oxfordshire, and The Waterside Inn, also in Bray. The judges praised the sheer variety of food, the quality of fresh produce and the number of Michelin-starred chefs among the reasons for Britain’s success.
