Restaurant Magazine has chosen its 50 best restaurants in the world. Kind of interesting when you think about it, since a list like this would have been America or Europe-only focused just ten years ago, you know. A sign of globalization, global travel, all that. Pretty cool that two of them are New York restaurant…even if I've never been to Per Se. Maybe it's time to go.

Here's the top ten.
1. The Fat Duck — Best in Europe
Bray, Berks, England

2. El Bulli — Chef's Choice
Montjoi, Spain

3. The French Laundry — Best in Americas
Yountville, Calif.

4. Tetsuya's — Best in Australasia
Sydney, Australia

5. Gordon Ramsay
London

6. Pierre Gagnaire
Paris

7. Per Se — Highest New Entry
New York

8. Tom Aikens
London

9. Jean Georges
New York

10. St John
London
