Did you hear about the World’s 50 Best Restaurants? It’s the annual list presented by S. Pellegrino (of bottled water fame), cobbled together by chefs, food writers and expert eaters.

Number one restaurant in the world?  A place called “Noma” in Copenhagen. In fact, here’s the top five (and see all 50 restaurants here): 

1. Noma (Copenhagen, Denmark)
2. El Bulli (Roses, Spain)
3. The Fat Duck (Bray, England)
4. El Celler de Can Roca (Girona, Spain)
5. Mugaritz (Errenteria, Spain)

Some totally random observations: 

• The top U.S. ranked restaurant is Chicago’s “Alinea” (#7)
• Shockingly, France did not make the top ten (Paris’ “Le Chateaubriand” is #11)
•  Best name - tie: “Iggy’s” of Singapore (#28) and New York’s “wd-50″ (#45)

So how to get to these restaurants? Easy. Just head for FareCompare’s Where-to-Go Flight Finder and click the destinations for the restaurants you want to try. For example, The Fat Duck is just outside London, so click on “top cities in Europe” and then, “find my deal”.

Right now, I see a cheap flight from New York to London for under $700 roundtrip total.

Fair warning: I can get you a flight for a good price, but when the waiter brings you the bill – you’re on your own.*

*The Fat Duck’s “tasting menu” is 150 pounds ($227)
