The 50 Best Restaurants in the World in 2016

The world’s best 50 restaurants ceremony for the year 2016 took place at Cipriani Wall Street, New York and the prize goes to Massimo Bottura’s Osteria Francescana, in Modena Italy.

Great job as well for the second on the list was “El Celler de Can Roca” in Girona Spain.

We recently had dinner at Le Bernadin restaurant in New York City, which is ranked 24 on the list and were just exquisitely impressed by the warm welcome and upscale service. We were lucky to have met that evening the restaurant manager Mr. Ben Chekroun, who took us on a tour of the house. Just an amazing gourmet experience…
