The list of the world's top restaurants that makes up the world's best 50 is out - and predictably controversial: it is dominated by the US, with only three from the UK.
Writes Lizzy Davies today
Only three UK restaurants have made it into the top 50, the joint-lowest number in the list's 10-year history. And, for the first time, not one of them is in the top five
Of the four British restaurants which made it on to the list last year, two – Claude Bosi's Hibiscus and Fergus Henderson's St John – have been missed off this time.

The US has eight restaurants in the top 50, and while New York and Paris each have five restaurants on the List, London only has two, on a level with Mexico City, San Sebastián, Stockholm and Tokyo
Heston Blumenthal's Dinner is this year's highest new entry, going straight in at No 9 after its opening last February, the Michelin-starred chef's other flagship restaurant, The Fat Duck, has slipped back from fifth place to 13th. Australian chef Brett Graham's The Ledbury, in London's Notting Hill, has climbed from 34th place to 14th.
