Some great person once said that “Food is the essence of Life”, and truly it is. In a world, where gastronomy is the new trend, and cooking is no longer just the mixing of spices, but rather the concoction of philosophy, spices and ingredients all in the same cauldron, food has been relegated to a standard unlike any before. Living in such a time, one obviously would like to get the best that the world has to offer, and that is exactly what is being served right now, the 5 restaurants that promise to make you smack your lips and say “Bravo”.
Going from bottom to top, the first one on the list is Bras in Laguiole, France. Possessing an old world charm about it, it serves up the most elaborate and then again the simplest dishes, using ingredients that are handpicked from natural gardens. Be it the service, or the food, it caters to your every gourmet tantrum.
The second one that makes the list is Le Louis XV, situated in the Hotel de Paris, in Monte Carlo. The restaurant at first, takes your breath away with its extensive gold plated atmosphere and its immaculate structure. However, get over the initial shock, and the food is absolutely delicious. Being an Alain Ducasse restaurant, it certainly holds a degree of status to its name. The restaurant serves up some of the best Mediterranean cuisine that you will ever get to taste on the face of this planet. Michelin starred critics have tested it and failed to criticize it, so of course, that proves my point. Fusing modernism with classicism, it absolutely enriches the word haute cuisine.
Third one in the countdown is The Fat Duck based at Bray in England. This restaurant cooks up a crazy idea with the sound of sea waves while you are eating sea food, just to enhance the experience. But, everything apart, the food is instrumental in redefining gastronomy.
The fourth is Eleven Madison Park in New York. It leapt from one Michelin star to three in a single bound and today, rustles up some of the best food, and currently holds a position in the world’s Top 10 Restaurants.
Lastly, but actually the top, is Noma, situated in Copenhagen, Denmark . Structurally, consisting of homely atmosphere, it has been named the Best Restaurant in the World, twice in a row, which is all that you need to know to take the next flight to have a bite.
