(MENAFN- NewsIn.Asia) Sept 26 (CNN) - Peru's capital city – and undoubtedly its gastronomic capital – had a tremendous showing Tuesday at The World's 50 Best Restaurants awards, taking the No. 1 title and earning more slots in the top 50 than any other city.
The host country performed very well in this year's awards with six entries from Spain in the top 50, including the world's No. 2 restaurant, Disfrutar in Barcelona. Spain also scooped up No. 3 and No. 4 with Diverxo in Madrid and Asador Etxebarri in Atxondo in the Basque region.

Italy and France also performed well in Europe, with five restaurants in Italy and four in France placing in the top 50. In England, London earned an impressive three slots.
In Asia, the city to watch is Bangkok, where two restaurants appeared on the list for the first time, both breaking into the top 20: Le Du at No. 15 and Gaggan Anand at No. 17.
From the United States, two New York restaurants made it into the top 50. Atomix
moved to No. 8 from last year's No. 33 slot, earning the Highest Climber award as well as Best Restaurant in North America. Longtime favorite Le Bernardin, helmed by chef Éric Ripert, also made the top 50 at No. 44.
This year's top 50 includes restaurants from 24 territories on five continents, with
12 restaurants entering the list for the first time.
Restaurants are permitted to scoop the awards' top prize only once, after which they're entered into a separate“Best of the Best” program. Members of that elite group include Geranium and Noma in Copenhagen, as well as New York's Eleven Madison Park, The Fat Duck near London, Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, and Mirazur in Menton, France. Central moves into the Best of the Best next year.
