The best restaurant in the world is actually a steakhouse. And no, it's not a mistake

The award for the world's best restaurant was given to Asador Etxebarri in the Basque Country, known for open-fire cooking and steaks. The ceremony was held in Lima, Peru. In second place was Gaggan from Bangkok, and in third, the Danish Alchemist.

The World's Best Restaurant award by William Reed was given to Asador Etxebarri in the village of Atxondo in the Basque Country. The title has been awarded since 2002 as part of the '50 Best' ranking. Asador Etxebarri is known for open-fire cooking – slow grilling over apple, olive, and oak coals – and its famous dish is a Basque beef steak. The ceremony was held this year in Lima, the capital of Peru. Second place went to the Thai restaurant Gaggan from Bangkok, and third place to the Danish Alchemist. The article notes a trend of rising non-European cuisines and Spanish dominance in the European parts of the list. The Israeli point? None for now.
