The 20 best restaurants in the world right now, according to millionaire private jet owners

Dec 21, 2019, 19:58 IST
Eleven Madison ParkEleven Park Madison, which ranked third, is often referred to as one of the top restaurants in the world. It is also one of the most expensive restaurants in New York City.

If private jet owners are about as wealthy as it gets, it's safe to assume their taste is pretty expensive, too. After all, owning a private jet is "not for the mere millionaires among us," as Business Insider's Katie Warren wrote earlier this year.

Private jet lifestyle publication Elite Traveler surveyed its readers about their favorite dining experiences around the world. Elite Traveler readers, for context, have an average net worth of $32 million and an average home value of $4.6 million. There are nearly 600,000 readers of the magazine, with an average age of 41, with 68% owning two or more homes. The average household income for an Elite Traveler reader is $7.9 million.

Unsurprisingly, the results of the survey included Michelin-starred spots around the world. Paris and New York City were the two standout culinary destinations: Five of the restaurants are in NYC, while another three are in Paris in this year's top 20 alone.
