LONDON: Spain’s restaurant ” El Celler de Can Roca” has won the top prize at prestigious 2015 World’s 50 Best Restaurant awards, held June 1 in London.
This is the second time that the restaurant have won the award. Joan, Jordi and Josep Roca each have their own speciality: the first is head chef, the second creates the desserts, while the third sibling is in charge of the wine.
El Celler bumped last year’s victor, Copenhagen’s forage-friendly Noma down to third, and pipped Modena, Italy’s, Osteria Francescana into second at the event, seen by some as the Oscars of the fine dining world.
“This success is also for our family, thanks family for your patience, for our wives, our kids, also our team — the best team in the world,” he said.
