The best restaurants in the world have been revealed, and there are some clear favorites missing from the list.
The winners of the annual World's 50 Best Restaurants 2019 awards were announced at a glamorous ceremony at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore on Tuesday.

Earlier this year, 50 Best also announced that, moving forward, restaurants which have been named no. 1 in the list's history are no longer eligible for the annual ranking, and will instead enter a hall of fame.
This means that last year's winner - Massimo Bottura's Osteria Francescana - doesn't even feature on this list.
