As the taxi approaches the Old Stamp House restaurant in Ambleside, I wonder how much of it would be ‘the world’s best’. Would it have the world’s best restaurant entrance? The world’s best restaurant tables and chairs? The world’s best bathroom taps? This lauded Lake District eatery has been named the overall global winner of Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice ‘Best of the Best’ Restaurants Awards for the past two years, garnering gushing tributes from almost every customer (1,334 ‘excellent’ reviews out of 1,477 at the time of writing)…<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
The awards also have five more subcategories – Everyday Eats, Date Night, Hidden Gems, Family-Friendly and Vegetarian.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brand-new category ‘Vegetarian’ celebrates meat-free restaurants around the globe, with\u00a0Chia Vegan Restaurant, in Cusco, Peru, taking the top spot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nIt’s tailed by<\/span>\u00a0Blu Bar in Barcelona in second place and\u00a0<\/span>Time Traveller in the Indian city of Bengaluru in third.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe UK bagged two top world spots in the inaugural Vegetarian-Friendly Restaurants category – Mallow in Borough Market, London, has been named best vegetarian-friendly restaurant in the UK and 12th in the world, and Herb in Leicester takes 13th place globally.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the ‘Date Night’ category, it’s\u00a0Waitui Bar & Grill on Denarau Island in Fiji that’s number one, followed by\u00a0Restaurante 1621 in Cartagena, Colombia (second), and\u00a0Mylos A La Carte Restaurant in Kolimbia, Greece (third).\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the UK date-night ranking, it’s Uig Sands Restaurant in Timsgarry, Scotland, that ranks top, though it doesn’t make the global top 25. While in the U.S, it’s Hot Tin Roof in Key West, Florida (19th worldwide), that reigns supreme and in Australia, EXP Restaurant in Pokolbin, New South Wales, tops the podium – it’s 24th worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And for foodie families, the world’s best family-friendly restaurant, according to Tripadvisor, is El Huaso Mirra in Tongoy, Chile. It’s tailed by two Brazilian restaurants – Pizzaria da Vila in Aquiraz (second) and\u00a0Restaurante Casa do Tempero in Penha (third).\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘This year\u2019s Travellers\u2019 Choice Restaurant winners -whose diversity and geographic reach reflect the fact that the last remaining pandemic-era travel restrictions have lifted – are especially exciting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘We know Tripadvisor travellers seek out first-hand intel and guidance, and that\u2019s exactly the spirit of these lists – All of our winners were selected not by professional food critics or editors, but by real diners who have left their feedback on Tripadvisor within the past year.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
