The World’s Best Restaurants 2024: the list revealed

Disfrutar, Spain

Chefs Oriol Castro, Eduard Xatruch and Mateu Casañas have many reasons to celebrate this year. In addition to marking the restaurant’s 10-year anniversary, they have also received top honours. Disfrutar has been named The World’s Best Restaurant 2024, sponsored by S.Pellegrino & Acqua Panna. The trio is also taking home the trophy for The Best Restaurant in Europe 2024. Castro, Xatruch and Casañas met at El Bulli, before opening Disfrutar in 2014. Imaginative dishes are executed with exceptional technical skill and served in the most playful way possible. Two parallel menus of 30 courses are on offer: The Classic and The Festival. The former features dishes such as Thai-style cuttlefish with coconut multi-spherical, and squab with kombu spaghetti, almond and grape, while the famously indulgent caviar-filled Panchino doughnut and brilliant frozen gazpacho sandwich can be found in the Classic option. Regardless of the chosen menu, one thing is certain: you will have the dining experience of a lifetime.
