A Guide To The World's Best Fine Dining Restaurants


Gault&Millau/Gayot (GM) ratings of 17 to 20 are based on the time of the last visit and awarded based solely on the food. A few 17 rated restaurants had ratings of 16.5 or 16 with 2 Michelin stars that this critic believes they deserve a 17 rating.
