French officials have come up with an algorithm to determine the top 1000 restaurants in the world.
La Liste, which was released in December 2016, is run by former French foreign minister and current Deputy Chairman of the country's Tourism Promotion Board Philippe Faure. According to its website, it is "an algorithm-based aggregator of food guides and reviews, crafting the perfect ranking of the world’s best restaurants."
La Liste collects reviews from sites like Google, Tripadvisor and the Michelin Guide to find the restaurants with the best reputations. So far, it has collected almost one million reviews on restaurants in 135 countries worldwide.
From Paris to Tokyo, here are the 23 best restaurants in the world, according to the food capital of Europe.
23. Pavillon Ledoyen — Paris, France
Pavillion Ledoyen is owned and run by chef Yannick Alleno in Paris. Dishes like this chocolate ganache dessert are incredibly detailed.

This restaurant in France's Rhône-Alpes region has been run by the Troisgros family since 1930. The three Michelin-starred restaurant is currently led by head chef Michel Troisgrois, and his wife, Marie-Pierre.
The family is famous for being key players in the "nouvelle cuisine" movement, where presentation is key. This dish, called "rotten milk" and served with white truffle shavings, is a perfect example.
