The Roca are crowned again

Retrieves the scepter lost in 2014, when they finished second

The Danish Noma, winner of last year, becomes the third

Albert Adrià enters the list -number 42- and win the award for Best World Pastry chef

Mugaritz is sixth in the list of 50 leaving Martin Berasategui

 

El Celler de Can Roca gets the number 1 on the list of the best restaurants in the world who won in 2013 while Albert Adrià is declared the best pastry chef on the face of the Earth. Those are the two main consequences of a perhaps magical night. There was more news. For example, Osteria Francescana chef Massimo Bottura Italian came in second and Denmark's Noma, Rene Redzepi, and last year topped the San Pellegrino World's 50 Best The list, went to third place. He also attended the unstoppable rise of Latin American restaurants as Central (Lima), which took fourth place. It was a certain geographical reorganization presence of new countries and new restaurants. But what caught the attention at the Oscars of gastronomy that annually brings together professionals, critics and experts was the Spanish consolidation among the top seven.

It seemed impossible, was not in the pools and even they expected, but jumped in surprise. The three Roca brothers: Joan, Josep and Jordivolvieron onto the stage to thank and say: "We have the best team and this is possible thanks to them." Sitting among the audience, their women, who are part of that team, applauded excited.

The other big surprise was the Albert Adrià. Tickets restaurant is located in the position 42. Last year was out. And next, rising Quique Dacosta (Denia) to 39th was another good news for Spain which places 10 restaurants among the 100 best in the world, with DiverXo (Madrid) David Muñoz in the 59th.
Despite the decline of Arzak (San Sebastian) to 17th place from eighth occupied, the Basque Country is displayed as the great gastronomic power in the Spanish panorama six restaurants placed among the 100 best in the world: Nerua (Vizcaya) entering this year ranked 68; Azurmendi (Vizcaya), which has risen sharply to 19th place; Marín Berasategui (Guipúzcoa), which fell to 61; Etxebarri (Vizcaya), which has led the greatest rise of the list going from 34th to 13th; Arzak (Guipúzcoa), which despite the decline still remaining among the best, and Mugaritz (Guipúzcoa), which has repeated the sixth position for a decade and is always among the top 10 restaurants in the world. A record.

The presence of Latin American restaurants has been reinforced by the arrival at number four with Virgilio Martinez of Central and Pious León forward. Astrid and Gaston (Lima) has remained in the 14 and Pujol (Mexico DF), chef Enrique Olvera, at 16. Another Mexican, pigweed, the very young Jorge Vallejo, has gone straight to number 35, while the Chilean Boragó , the chef Rodolfo Guzman, stood at 42, just one place below Groundnut (Sao Paulo). At number 44 we find Maido (Lima), genuine representative of the kitchen Nikkei (Peruvian japonesa-).

If something good has happened tonight is that the list has moved, and moved a lot. There is nothing more boring for a ranking monotony. unexpected advances, sound falls, many surprises and the possibility that new faces burn in this Bonfire of the Vanities overall, generating trends, and controversial business which calls Ferran Adria "killer list."

Among the Spanish chefs, meeting this afternoon in the restaurant Berdmonsey Pizarro, he was quiet. None of nervousness as in other years. None seemed to run as a winner. or the Roca brothers. "We have already fulfilled a stage," they said smiling. Meanwhile, they gave clues of what their trip this summer by Turkey, the United States and Argentina. Neither Andoni L. Aduriz of Mugaritz, which ensured convinced that "10 years in the top 10 is enough," seemed to expect anything.
