On 30 April, Restaurant magazine unveiled its hotly anticipated list of the top 50 places to eat on the planet and MSN Food was there. The World's 50 Best Restaurant Awards are the biggest of the industry, with the power to make and break restaurants. "The list is democratic and fair" announced Will Drew, editor of Restaurant magazine - it's the result of over 800 restaurant critics from around the world. Could the 2011 winner, Noma, and its inspirational chef Rene Redzepi remain the world's very best restaurant? We reveal the top 20 world's best restaurants.

It's all restaurants from the European side. This should be titled "European's Best Restaurants"

Totally subjective and bias ranking. Westerners know **** about food. They squeeze lemon juice on every piece of fish that they eat. Enough said!

Interesting! Only one restaurant outside of Europe and North America qualified to be in this list!! It is possibly a list of restaurant which serve only western cuisine!!!!!

This shouldn't be the world ranking! There're more found in Asian countries though:)
