Spoiler alert, everybody: according to Spanish newspaper El Imparcial, the top five restaurants on this year's S. Pellegrino World's 50 Best list are as follows:
1. El Celler de Can Roca, Girona, Spain
2. Noma, Copenhagen, Denmark
3. Osteria Francescana, Modena, Italy
4. Mugaritz, Errenteria, Spain
5. Eleven Madison Park, New York City
Obviously, if this intel is correct it is a major upset, with El Celler de Can Roca pushing Noma out of its number one slot. Noma was first crowned number one by S. Pellegrino in 2010, when it took the title from Spain's elBulli. A rumor floated earlier this year the Noma would be ousted by Tokyo's Narisawa, but it seems the honor is going back to Spain. Also of note is EMP moving up from last year's #10 slot to #5.
UPDATE: All 50 have been leaked by El Pais in Spain and Brazil's Folha de Sao Paolo.
UPDATE #2: The list was correct, here are the winners of the 2013 World's 50 Best Restaurants.
