Interactive map reveals Britain’s best restaurants, including idyllic rural retreat named as the best in the world

Dozens of top British restaurants have been named among the best in the world, according to a prestigious guide.

The Ritz, Gordon Ramsey’s London restaurant and Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck in Berkshire are just some of Britain’s top establishments ranked among the top 1000 in the world.

This is what the French food guide La Liste says, which claims to be ‘the global benchmark for gastronomy’.

A total of 75 British restaurants made the list, but only one – L’Enclume in Cumbria – was jointly named the best in the world.

It is the second time Simon Rogan’s renowned eatery, which offers a 15-course tasting menu for £250, has topped the rankings.

The three-Michelin star restaurant received a near-perfect score of 99.50 percent out of 100 – based on La Liste’s advanced rating system.

Peter Knogl’s Cheval Blanc in Basel, Switzerland, Arnaud Donckele’s La Vague d’Or in Saint-Tropez, France, and the Guy Savoy in Paris were also among the joint top performers.

MailOnline has put together an interactive map below to help you explore Britain’s best restaurants and discover which is closest to you.

Launched by Rogan in 2002, Lake District restaurant L’Enclume is almost self-sufficient with most of its produce grown on Rogan’s nearby 30-acre farm.

The name, French for anvil, is taken from the restaurant’s previous life as a former wheel maker.

The food offering is classic, with seasonal products such as bee pollen, elderflower and nasturtium that add extra flair to chef Rogan’s dishes.

Deep in the countryside, L’Enclume also has space for a hotel and staff are always on hand to advise on countryside walks, which start with a glimpse of Rogan’s extensive fruit and vegetable gardens.

Commenting on his prestigious achievement, the chef said: ‘As the only British restaurant to achieve the number one position in La Liste’s nine-year history, this is a moment of immense pride for our entire team.

‘Representing British gastronomy on this world stage feels really important and showcases the incredible talent in our restaurant scene – not just in London but across the country. It’s an exciting and important moment for British restaurants.

‘Many thanks to our guests and friends; your support means everything, and we never take it for granted.”

Rogan, whose restaurants worldwide have eight Michelin stars and two Michelin Green Stars, is credited with transforming the British food scene with his farm-to-table approach to cooking.

Internationally, the US and France had the highest number of restaurants that reached the top 1000.

Meanwhile, 28 restaurants in London alone also made the cut, with Clare Smyth’s Core in Notting Hill scoring the highest with a score of 97.

Smyth, who provided catering at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in 2018, has become the first British woman to have three Michelin stars.

Core is the chef’s first restaurant, bringing it to life after a four-year stint as Gordon Ramsay’s No. 2.

The restaurant features a chic and modern dining space that complements Smyth’s culinary background.

Also high on the list is The Ritz in London, which achieved a score of 97 percent in the ranking.

The London institution has been around since 1906 and prides itself on being ‘the largest hotel in the world’.

The Ritz restaurant, which Daily Mail critic Tom Parker Bowles described as ‘pure, unabashed luxury’, currently has one Michelin star.

Heston Blumenthal’s The Fat Duck also ranked among some of the highest scorers with a score of 93.50.

The Fat Duck is Heston’s most famous eatery, having been open since 1995 and receiving its first Michelin star four years later.

Are The 10-course Christmas menu, recently unveiled by the celebrity chef, promises delicious dishes with some ‘fun surprises’.

The spread, which will set you back a staggering £450 per person, includes classic Christmas-inspired dishes and Blumenthal’s famous wacky creations often served at the restaurant in Bray, Berkshire.

While customers are treated to a range of festive dishes, no turkey is on offer, instead the chef opts to serve a short rib of beef.

Restaurant Gordon Ramsey, the London flagship location with three Michelin stars, also made the prestigious list with a respectable score of 93.

Ramsay’s first solo venture opened in 1998 and was awarded three Michelin stars in 2001, which it still holds.

The a la carte dishes include Cornish turbot and Herdwick hogget, both priced at £180.

Philippe Faure, Founder and CEO: ‘Like a drone flying over the gastronomic planet, La Liste uses the methods of artificial intelligence to synthesize thousands of opinions and reviews.

‘Our methodical approach offers the most objective possible picture of the global culinary landscape.’

Hélène Pietrini, Managing Director: ‘The new generation of chefs is transforming gastronomy and bringing not only excellence and creativity, but also a new vision of team management and well-being at work.

This evolution is crucial at a time when the sector must reinvent itself.’

Jörg Zipprick, co-founder and editor-in-chief: ‘Gastronomy is going through a period of profound change. Wealthy customers no longer look for distinction, but for fun and authenticity. The restaurants that understand this are the ones that succeed.”
