Bookmark this for your next big trip đź‘€

The world's most prestigious restaurant awards were handed out on Tuesday, and a Danish restaurant took the top prize after completely reinventing itself.

Noma was named the top place to eat on the World's 50 Best Restaurants List for 2021, only three years after they moved their restaurant to a rustic field and greenhouse in Copenhagen.

The restaurant won the coveted top spot on the list in 201, 2011, 2012 and 2014, but this year marks its first win since the move.

It also managed to edge out a local rival, Geranium, which ranked No. 2 on the list.

But that just means you have two reasons to go to Copenhagen.

It might be hard to visit every restaurant on the list during a pandemic year, but there are several top-ranked spots in each part of the world, so you've got options for planning that super romantic date night or that extra special trip.

But enough with the appetizing intro. You want the main course, and here it is: the best 50 restaurants in the world, according to the World's 50 Best.
