Lemon tart Osteria Francescana

Osteria Francescana

"Oops I dropped the lemon tart" - one of Osteria Francescana's most iconic dishes. The restaurant makes it into the top 10, but who came first?

French officials have come up with an algorithm to determine the top 1000 restaurants in the world.

La Liste, which was released in December 2016, is run by former French foreign minister and current ambassador Philippe Faure. According to its website, it is "an algorithm-based aggregator of food guides and reviews, crafting the perfect ranking of the world's best restaurants."

La Liste collects reviews from sites like Google, Tripadvisor and the Michelin Guide to find the restaurants with the best reputations. So far, it has collected almost one million reviews on restaurants in 135 countries worldwide.

From Paris to Tokyo, here are the 23 best restaurants in the world, according to the food capital of Europe.
