Its return to form should ensure it remains incredibly popular – securing a reservation here is a frustrating, time-consuming process. The Scandinavian menu includes dishes such as burnt leak and cod roe. 7: D.O.M., Sao Paulo Chef Alex Atala serves a contemporary Brazilian menu rich with unusual Amazonian ingredients such as manioc root and tucupi juice. The restaurant is also a favourite of Heinz Beck. 9: Alinea, Chicago A favourite restaurant of Daniel Boulud, Alinea serves highly experimental food – diners might expect to eat flavoured gums or dishes that are served directly onto tablecloths rather than on plates. 12: Vendome, Bergish Gladbach Found within Germanys Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg, Vendome serves a highly technical Germanic menu. Dining here can be time-consuming, with some set menus offering 25 courses. 13: Nahm, Bangkok Having recently been named the best restaurant in Asia in a separate poll, David Thompsons Nahm is an unsurprising addition to the top 20. 18: Astrid y Gastón, Lima Melding traditional Peruvian ingredients with Mediterranean influences and a haute cuisine sensibility, Astrid y Gastón serves dishes such as Peking guinea pig. 19: Faviken, Jarpen On a 20,000-acre estate near the Arctic circle, Swedish venue Faviken is one of the worlds most isolated restaurants.
