I've been to #26. Was great, awesome view, beautiful interior - surprised that the food is in the best in the world class. It was amazing but not a taste bud orgasm.

Was at 26 (Quay) twice in 2 different locations. Food was definitely better first time around, although second was nothing to sneeze at. Be interesting to see what their criteria are.

Went to 10 & 11 as well. Both deserve to be on the list.

Been to eleven of them, three (two of which were revisits) within the past five months. All the ones I've been to deserve to be on the list with the possible exception of St. John's, in London. The meal I had at l'Atelier Joel Robuchon in Paris in January was one of the best meals I've had in several years. Just amazing in almost all respects.

1) what was the criteria? seems like (regardless of where actually located) a huge French bias

2) I'd be much happier with anything my Mom puts in front of me.

I haven't been to any of them. But I know where to get some good beef brisket.

I guess breakfasting on a MRE – in a foxhole, in August, at Ft Polk, Louisiana – didn’t quite make the list.

I don't subscribe to the "best of " lists......BTW, I am a better cook than most of the chefs on that list.
