When The Roaming Boomers® are traveling the world, one of the things we most like to do is sample the local cuisine. And if we desire to sample the best of the best local cuisines, we must do a little homework before we leave.

There are a variety of websites that we frequent when seeking out a great restaurant, but for a great restaurant that has garnered worldwide recognition, The World’s 50 Best Restaurants list is perhaps the best place to begin our quest.

So, who says these are the world’s best?  Well, the Diners Club International has an academy of nearly 1,000 experts of the international restaurant scene.  They decide.

Further, if you head to the link above, you can also explore the World’s Best Female Chef, the World’s Best Pastry Chef, and many more categories.

Also, if you really want to get your palates watering, many of these world-renowned chefs are featured in the Netflix original hit series Chef’s Table.

So, if you’re headed to one of the world’s great cities anytime in the near future, check out this list.  You should probably also know that many of these restaurants are small, so reservations well in advance of your visit are required.  And, as you might expect, make sure you have plenty of space on your credit card, as world-famous chef’s are also able to get a pretty penny for their talents.  Capische? 😄
