The city of Las Vegas hosts the most important gastronomic event in the world
In the early hours of Wednesday to Thursday, the city of Las Vegas, in the United States, will be the scene of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants gala. This event is considered the most prominent international gastronomic event in the world, and Las Vegas has been chosen as the venue for this occasion. The list is made up of 50 restaurants and the first place is occupied by the best restaurant in the world. In this edition, Barcelona and Madrid are two cities that have a great chance of taking the title.
Enjoy and DiverXO: the favorites to become the best restaurant in the world
Among the restaurants that are emerging as favourites to become the new best restaurant in the world are Disfrutar and DiverXO. Disfrutar, led by chefs Oriol Castro, Mateu Casañas and Eduard Xatruch, and DiverXO, by chef Dabiz Muñoz, are two three-Michelin-starred establishments that currently occupy second and third place in the ranking respectively. Both establishments offer an exceptional culinary experience and are competing to take over from the current number 1 on the list, Lima’s Central restaurant.
Michelin stars: a shared level of excellence
Both Enjoy and DiverXO have three Michelin stars, which places them at the same level of excellence according to the prestigious French guide. However, it is important to highlight that having Michelin stars is not a guarantee of success in the ranking. The current number 1, the Central restaurant, in Lima, does not have any Michelin stars because the guide does not have a presence in Peru.
Menu price: an exclusive dining experience
The price of the menu is one of the aspects that generates the greatest interest among diners and gastronomic experts. In the case of Enjoy, the menu costs €290, while the pairing costs €160. This means that a complete meal can reach €450. For its part, DiverXO offers a €395 menu and two pairing options, one for €300 and another for €600. In this case, the complete experience at DiverXO can cost €995, almost the equivalent of the minimum interprofessional salary in Spain in 2022.
Type of cuisine: creativity and essence
Both restaurants stand out for offering creative haute cuisine, with tasting menus that present unique and avant-garde dishes. However, what differentiates Enjoy and DiverXO is the soul of their gastronomic projects. Enjoy is characterized by its focus on Mediterranean cuisine and its essence rooted in the territory. On the other hand, DiverXO stands out for its groundbreaking proposal and its chef, Dabiz Muñoz, who represents a young and alternative spirit in the culinary world.
Statistics: who will be the new best restaurant in the world?
If we base ourselves on the statistics of recent years, everything indicates that Fácilr will become the new best restaurant in the world. Since 2019, the restaurant that occupies second place on the list has become the first in the following year’s edition. This trend has continued with Noma, Geranium and Central in previous years. If this dynamic is repeated, Fácilr would be crowned the best restaurant in the world in 2024.
The World’s 50 Best Restaurants gala in Las Vegas promises to be an exciting event full of surprises. Will Enjoy be the new best restaurant in the world? Or will DiverXO take the title? We will be attentive to all the news that occurs during the gala and you will be able to follow all the news in La Gourmeteria.
