Not content with being the only restaurant in Denmark with two sought-after Michelin stars, Noma has now gained the ultimate accolade: Best Restaurant in the World, jumping from 3rd place last year onto the winning podium in 2010. Danish restaurant Noma was named 'The World's best restaurant' when the British Restaurant Magazine announced its annual top 50 restaurants in the world on April 26th. Noma beat the last four year's winner: Spanish restaurant El Bulli as well as last year's no. 2: The Fat Duck in the UK.

Reservations months ahead
The award is the equivalent of an Oscar for restaurants, and will be a boost for the already highly sought-after and high-profile restaurant, meaning diners will have to book even longer ahead to get a table - something which is definitely the only negative aspect to the win.

The judges who made the award are the very top people in their field and The World's 50 Best Restaurants are awarded by the British magazine "Restaurant".
