  1. And of the ones you've visited, how would *you* order them? Or at least, are there any that you would thrust to the top of the list (or drop off the bottom)?

    Iggy's, fer instance, I enjoyed a fine meal at Iggy's but could remember at least a half-dozen meals at UK restaurants that I thought were better just in that same year.

    1. For me The Fat Duck is definitely up there (as is Momofuku Ko) but the voting system only allows voters to vote for restaurants that they have eaten at in the previous 18 months. Availability of tables and location therefore plays a major role in compiling the list - restaurants in major cities for example are likely to have many more visits by panellists than restaurants such as L'Enclume (one that, for me, is a notable absence on the list.)
