The stars of the restaurant world converged this evening (5th October 2021) for

The World's 50 Best Restaurants Awards 2021, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua

Panna, hosted in Antwerp, Flanders. This year's event saw restaurants from 26

countries across five continents place on the list, culminating in the

announcement of a new No.1, as Rene Redzepi and his team took to the stage to

collect the double honours for Noma in Copenhagen, Denmark, as The World's Best

Restaurant 2021 and The Best Restaurant in Europe 2021.

Taking over the No.1 position from Mirazur, which has been elevated to the Best

of the Best hall of fame, Noma has climbed from the No.2 spot in 2019 when it

was announced as the Highest New Entry on the list in its fresh incarnation.

This new iteration of Noma is eligible for The World's 50 Best Restaurants list

due to three key changes from the original version: its location, concept and

ownership structure.  Noma is joined in the top three by Geranium (No.2) also

in Copenhagen, Denmark and Asador Etxebarri (No.3) in Atxondo, Spain.

"Noma is surely the most influential restaurant of its generation. It has also

become one of the most sought-after destinations by diners from all over the
