LONDON, April 19 (UPI) -- "The Fat Duck" restaurant in England has topped the list of this year's World's 50 Best Restaurants.
The designation was announced Tuesday by the British-based "Restaurant" magazine based on voting by more than 500 chefs, critics and restaurateurs.
The restaurant in Bray offers three menus that include such items as fig puree with red wine, crab with roast foie gras, snail porridge, sardine on toast sorbet and smoked bacon and egg ice-cream.
A total of 14 British restaurants, including 11 from London, made the short list to compete with gastronomic eateries from France, Spain, Japan and the United States.
Owned by Michelin-starred chef Heston Blumenthal, the restaurant also won the Best Restaurant in Europe category, Sky News reported.
