After three years in the No.1 spot, Noma is no longer the world's best restaurant, with Spain once again securing the prestigious title.
Danish chef Rene Redzepi's establishment has now slipped to second position in the 2013 S.Pellegrino World's 50 Best Restaurants list announced overnight.
Top spot in the prestigious international list is now held by Spanish restaurant El Celler de Can Roca, which has finally moved to No.1 after a couple of years of placing second. The last Spanish restaurant to hold the No.1 spot was chef Ferran Adria's establishment El Bulli, which held the title for several years.
The three Michelin-starred El Celler is run by three brothers - Josep, Jordi and Joan Roca. It had been ranked No.2 for the past two years.
Opened in 1986, El Celler is known for dishes that blend innovative cooking techniques with traditional ingredients, such as lobster parmentier with black trumpets and Iberian suckling pig with pepper sauce and garlic and quince terrine, according to Associated Press.
Two Australian restaurants have been included among the top 50: Attica (21) and Quay (48).
It is the first time Melbourne establishment Attica has placed in the top 50; it had been among the top 100 in previous years.
Attica, whose executive chef is Ben Shewry, also received the Best Restaurant in Australasia award and the Highest New Entry award.
Quay was ranked 29th last year.
