Good luck trying to make a reservation any time soon - Danish restaurant Noma has once again been voted the best in the world.

That is, at least, according to the results of last night’s The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards. The foremost awards event in global cuisine is is held annually at London’s Guildhall, organised by Restaurant magazine and sponsored by both St. Pellegrino and Acqua Panna.

After nine years on the list and three consecutive wins in 2010, 2011 and 2012, Noma chef-owner René Redzepi has been recognised for his original take on Nordic cuisine.

Redzepi said he strives to reflect the “Danish landscape and culture” with his signature dishes. The two Michelin-starred chef was praised for his meticulous attention to detail, innovative approach to foraging and experimentation with fermentation.

Eleven Madison Park in New York moved up one spot to fourth position, claiming "The Best Restaurant in North America". On the opposite coast, San Francisco's Saison  was deemed “One To Watch”.

The Highest Climber Award went to Central in Lima. The restaurant is now at number 15, having climbed 35 places – quite fitting for the Peruvian capital, surrounded by mountains.

Asia also boasts seven restaurants in the list, including “The Best Restaurant in Asia” - Nahm in Bangkok, Thailand, comes in at thirteen.

“The appetite for reaching new gastronomic heights continues to grow and grow and we are honoured to play a smtieall part in that process. It’s fantastic to witness the strength and breadth of talent that exists across all corners of the globe,” said William Drew, group editor of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants.
