Five Hungarian restaurants are among the best 1000

La Liste was created by the French Foreign Ministry to objectively rank the best 1000 restaurants in the world. There are crucial differences between the French La Liste and the prestigious British Restaurant Magazine’s yearly list that also collects the best restaurants in the world. Five Hungarian restaurants – the Onyx, Costes, Babel Budapest, Csalogány 26, and Tanti – made it to La Liste, reports hvg.hu.

There are many lists in the world that rank the best restaurants, such as the ones made by TripAdvisor, but the Restaurant Magazine’s list has always been viewed as the norm. In order to make completely unbiased lists (The World’s 10, 50, 100 Best Restaurants) almost a thousand prestigious professionals, chefs, journalists and food experts cast their votes every year since 2002.

La Liste – The world’s 1000 best restaurants was created by the French Foreign Ministry and it’s the first list which can be a rival to the British list. La Liste also claims to be completely unbiased, and was created by analysing almost 200 international gastronomic guide’s evaluations on the biggest social websites, such as TripAdvisor, Yelp, or L’Internaute. The creators also revised the rates given by several gourmet blogs, major local and international experts. The making of La Liste cost €329.000 according to the New York Times, and its main sponsors were Nestlé and Moët Hennessy.
