Following the conflicting results of the World's Best 50 voting sponsored by San Pellegrino and Acqua Panna, Barcelona's Disprutar restaurant has been recognized as the best restaurant in the world. Congratulations!

The Danish restaurant Alchemist, run by chef Rasmus Munch, has fallen into two spaces. All the hard work he and his team put into the past 2023 was for nothing. Including Sinergia, the event where he paid tribute to Ferran Adrià and Albert Adrià and invited other ex-El Bulli chefs to chill in Copenhagen last January, did not help him rent the definitely #1 space, as was expected in the field. And this is without paying attention to the fact that practically all members of the World's 50 Best were invited. Sometimes marketing does not evoke the expected effect and the efforts are not all triumphant - a sign that draws a crisis on the universal gastronomic stage.

The launch of Atomix, a Korean restaurant in New York, which is undoubtedly considered one of the winners of international lovers of fine dining, is noteworthy. I wrote about Atomix's educational program last fall, and you can read it here.

Quique d'Acosta is ranked 14th and Elcano is ranked 28th. With them, Spain has five restaurants in the top 50 in the world and in the group 50-100. In fact, Bruno Verous' Parisian Table restaurant, considered a necessary event for French restaurants that have been experienced every time in this list, takes third place.
