Last night the 2016 'World's 50 Best Restaurants' List was announced and Massimo Bottura's Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy nabbed the top spot for the first time, knocking Spain's El Celler de Can Roca down to number two. Perrenial winner Noma slipped down to No. 5. The USA boasts a total of six restaurants on the 2016 list including Saison (No.27) in San Francisco, which is one of four new entries to the list (along with four re-entries). New York's Estela (No.44) is also a newcomer, while Alinea in Chicago climbed 11 places on the list to No.15. The third spot and the inaugural Ferrari Trento Art of Hospitality Award both went to Eleven Madison Park in New York.
