This year's World's 50 Best Restaurant awards were presented last night in London, and Copenhagen's Noma is back on top after falling to second place in 2013.
Organized by Restaurant magazine and co-sponsored by Pellegrino and Acqua Panna, the World's 50 Best list is based on the votes of more than 900 international leaders in the restaurant industry.
Europe took home the majority of the prizes, with 28 spots going to restaurants in European countries. Spain had three restaurants in the top ten.
We rounded up the top 25, but you can view the full list here (or click here for a copy of the guide).
25. L'Arpège
Paris, France
Last year's ranking: 16
Years on list: 11
Diners around the world make a special trip to Paris just for Alain Passard's food at L'Arpège, especially his Oeuf à la Coque — a lightly cooked egg yolk with crème fraîche, maple syrup, vinegar, and spices.
The meal centers mainly around vegetables from his garden, and is worth its three-Michelin-star rating.

23. Restaurant Frantzén
Stockholm, Sweden
Last year's ranking: 12

Formerly Frantzén/Lindeberg, the restaurant changed its name after pastry chef Daniel Lindeberg departed last year. Now, chef Björn Frantzén prepares modern Scandinavian food with Asian influences at Restaurant Frantzén.
95% of the ingredients they use are from Sweden, and many are plucked straight from the restaurant’s own garden.
