Best Restaurants in the world?

Hmm, I don't think so.

What are you comparing it to?/ Putting it in the same league with?

That's like the people who argue that Kylie is one of the best singers in the world. Hmm, best career revival in a pair of hotpants maybe.

Got to say that I have the same reaction when I read about people liking the chemical-filled industrially produced junk that appears a lot in this forum.

Well they've certainly won a few awards

Yeah...but...Kylie?

Dannii is better

As acknowledged by more or less everyone in the restaurant business. Or isn't that good enough for you?

I meant what did the poster think - not interested in list of awards.

What I was interested in, was what was the poster comparing it to, in their opinion, with regard to how they found the food there.

So I take it nobody has actually been to this restaurant then?

No, figured out an overnight stay and meal for 2 would be over £400, plus it's very difficult to get a table.
