"World's Top 50 Restaurants of 2023 Announced"
Central in Lima, Peru, run by married chefs Virgilio Martínez and Pia León, has been named the world's best restaurant in the World's 50 Best Restaurants List. This marks the first time a restaurant with a female chef has earned the top spot, and the first time a restaurant outside of Europe or the United States has won. The list historically focuses primarily on fine-dining establishments around Europe and the United States, though in recent years restaurants from east Asia, South America, and Central America have appeared on the list with more frequency.
