So the annual list of the world’s so-called “Top 100” restaurants has been released, and naturally the press is buzzing with analysis of who’s up and who’s down and why. No surprise, modernist gastronomy continues to reign supreme with the likes of Noma, Alinea, and Osteria Francescana taking top spots on the list, and restaurants in Iberia and Iberia’s former colonies continue to be well represented as successor states to the old El Bulli.

There’s a certain point at which these sort of exercises become silly: Can anyone say that you’ll have a measurably worse meal at Restaurant Daniel (#25) in New York than you will at Le Chateaubriand (#15) in Paris? Nevertheless, I was pleased to see my beloved Eleven Madison Park come in at #10, and was disappointed that the top Australian eatery (Quay) only came in at #29, though for a country our size we’re doing reasonably well. What Marque (#61) is doing on the list at all is anyone’s guess.
