Opinionated About Dining this evening announced the list of the top 100+ European Restaurants for 2017. Alain Passard, French chef of L’Arpege in Paris topped the list followed by Andreas Caminada of Andrea Caminada in Furstenau, Switzerland and Faviken of Magnus Nilsson.
Surprisingly, the list does not include any European restaurants from the Top 100+ Classical & Heritage Restaurants which was released earlier this year.
In fourth place was Eneko Atxa’s Azurmendi while De Librije, Jonnie Boer’s restaurant in Zwolle, the Netherlands placed 5th.
The OAD list claims to be the only restaurant ranking system that determines the experience level of the people contributing reviews to the site. Each reviewer is assigned a weight that reflects the number of restaurants he/she has visited and those restaurants’ rank on the OAD list. “While this system affords anyone who would like to participate the opportunity to do so, the final rankings reflect the opinions of reviewers who have demonstrated a higher level of expertise than you will find in other survey based ranking systems,” the OAD claim.
Many of our readers will note that Food and Wine Gazette is not necessarily fond of lists or guides which often have flawed methodologies.
The first Belgian to head the list is Gert De Mangeleer in 24th place with his restaurant Hertog Jan. San Degeimbre of L’ Air du Temps placed in 31st place. Christophe Hardiquest’s Brussels based restaurant Bon Bon placed 73th while Souvenir by Vilhjalmur Sigurdarson in Ypres placed in 95th place.
