It’s official: 28 of the world’s best restaurants are in London

La Liste, which compiles reviews from publications, guidebooks, and online reviews, has just announced its 2024 global ranking of the world’s 1000 best restaurants. And 28 London spots have made the grade. Proud.

Restaurants in the list can have a maximum score of 100, but the nine top rated restaurants received a 99.5 score. Only one of the top ranking restaurants was in the UK; well done to Simon Rogan’s acclaimed L’Enclume in Cumbria. You can read more about L’Enclume’s triumph here.

The top rated London restaurant in the list was Core by Clare Smyth in Notting Hill, which scored a pretty impressive 97.5. The full list of London winners can be found below, and also includes The Ritz Restaurant in Mayfair, The Clove Club in Shoreditch, and Cornus in Belgravia which only opened in August of this year. Chef Claude Bosi appears twice in the London list, with Brooklands by Hyde Park and Claude Bosi at Bibendum in Chelsea.
