Italian restaurant is the “best in the world”
By Catherine Hardy



MODENA: -- An italian restaurant has been named the best in the world.

Run by chef Massimo Bottura, the Osteria Francescana can be found in the Italian city of Modena.

It beat off competition from 49 other eateries around the world.

The restaurant has been bombarded with requests to reserve a table. A spokesperson says it is fully booked for until October or November.

The restaurant, which has three Michelin stars, is known for its eccentric interpretation of Italian cuisine.

“Oops I dropped the lemon tart” is a dessert that has been deliberately dropped on a plate before being served.

Or alternatively the Maitre d' will pass wind in your face before the amuse-bouche.

Watched a show about him. He was nearly crucified by the Romans, Italians for his departure from the norm. He creates very interesting dishes.

He had his birthday party at Burger King it seems. Probably a nice change from the stuff he serves at his place.

Are there only 50 restaurants in the entire world?

So best in the world out of 50.

The best in the world? I think we have one in Bangkok that should be in the running. Gaggan.

I had a very mediocre pizza in a restaurant described as making the best pizza on Koh Samui by Trip Advisor.

Chacun a son gout.

Anyone mad enough to spend 500 euros on a meal deserves to see the owner parading around in a crown. Let the nutters cling together!

I am pretty sure the top 50 were vetted before it came down to the final judgement. This guy has 3 Michelin stars and there isn't even a restaurant for them that is worth rating at this point, in all of Thailand. Interesting thing for me is it wasn't in France or Japan.

The fascinating story of Osteria Francescana can be viewed in Episode 1 of Netflix's Chef's Table….a must-see for anyone who likes good food and the people that inspire it.
