Taking the top spot this year is Maido in Lima, Peru. It's run by Lima-born chef Mitsuharu 'Micha' Tsumura, known for his innovative take on Nikkei cuisine which blends the ingredients of his home city with the culinary techniques of Japan, where he has his roots.
Maido was followed by Asador Etxebarri in Atxondo, Spain, Mexico City's Quintonil, Madrid's Diverxo and Alchemist in Copenhagen.
Tokyo's highest ranking restaurant is Sézanne, which took the seventh spot, just behind Bangkok's Gaggan. Helmed by British chef Daniel Calvert, Sézanne continues to impress with its meticulous technique-driven cuisine highlighting seasonal ingredients sourced from across Japan.

Truth about Emma Raducanu boyfriend now emerges as new man turns up after Alcaraz hotel visit
Truth about Emma Raducanu boyfriend now emerges as new man turns up after Alcaraz hotel visit The tennis star's love life has been in the spotlight at Wimbledon Raducanu was seen watching Alcaraz in action at Queen's last month All eyes will be on Emma Raducanu at Wimbledon on Friday as she takes on top seed Aryna Sabalenka in the third round of the women's singles at SW19. The 22-year-old has impressed in the opening two rounds of this year's tournament, easing past Welsh teenager Mimi Xu with a 6-3, 6-3 victory in her first match before beating Marketa Vondrousova by the same scoreline in round two. However, the biggest challenge of her campaign so far awaits on Centre Court on Friday afternoon, with Sabalenka currently the top-ranked women's player in the world. With the home crowd behind her, however, Raducanu will be hoping to cause an upset as she looks to let her tennis do the talking, having never really lived up to the 2021 US Open triumph that catapulted her to fame as a teenager. Going into this year's Wimbledon, however, much of the conversation around Raducanu revolved around her life away from the court, particularly her personal relationships. While there's lots of rumours, there is no confirmation Raducanu is currently in a relationship. Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz rumour The British star has seen herself romantically linked to a host of different men both within and outside of tennis, with rumours swirling ahead of the tournament of a potential relationship between her and reigning Wimbledon men's singles champion Carlos Alcaraz. Article continues below Suggestions that the pair were more than just friends first emerged last summer, but gathered pace last month when it was announced that they would partner each other in the mixed doubles competition at the US Open later this year. Raducanu was also seen cheering on Alcaraz as he won the men's singles event at Queen's, while reports emerged that the Spanish star had visited her at her hotel during the tournament. But while tongues were wagging, the British ace soon shut down the speculation at a Wimbledon press conference, telling reporters: "We're just good friends". Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper rumour Despite Raducanu's insistence, rumours linking her to Alcaraz have persisted with Australian tennis star Nick Kyrgios stirring the pot by claiming that she is in a 'love triangle' with the Spaniard and fellow British player Jack Draper, who she has also been linked with having known him since childhood. "I don't know, I think it's a love triangle," he told talkSPORT. "They're [Alcaraz and Draper] fighting over Raducanu I think, I'm not sure." However, the links between Raducanu, Alcaraz and Draper have since been superseded by rumours of a new man in the British women's No.1's life. The new man in the crowd Former tennis prodigy Benjamin Heynold was seen supporting Raducanu at Wimbledon earlier this week, sitting alongside her coach Nick Cavaday as she beat Vondrousova on Wednesday. Now a 24-year-old student at the University of North Carolina, Heynold has known the British star since they were six, while they both represented Team GB together at junior level. While not much else is known about Heynold, his long-standing friendship with Raducanu has led to speculation that their relationship may have evolved into something more serious, as he was also seen in her corner at Queen's last month, as well as other tournaments previously. Emma Raducanu and Romeo Beckham rumour It comes after Raducanu was also linked to David and Victoria Beckham's son Romeo after he watched her in action against Elise Mertens at Wimbledon last year. The former Brentford footballer took to Instagram while at the match to post a picture of Raducanu playing, which he accompanied with two love heart emojis. While the post again set tongues wagging, Raducanu played down suggestions of a romantic link after the match as she said: "I mean, I think he's, yeah, he's really cool. "His dad is, you know, someone that I think every athlete looks up to, especially every British athlete, you know what he's kind of gone through with the media, with his career, with the pressure moments." Emma Raducanu's split from billionaire's son Speculation around Raducanu's personal life follows her split from Carlo Agostinelli, the son of billionaire Robert Agostinelli and a footballer previously on the books of Tottenham Hotspur, last year. The couple reportedly first started dating in May 2023 and were seen on trips together, including one to Mexico as they attended Dior's 2024 Cruise show. They were also seen walking arm-in-arm and smiling together at Paris Fashion Week as their romance was confirmed. However, they later split up, with Raducanu unfollowing Agostinelli on social media just weeks ahead of last year's Wimbledon. Parents intervention While her love life is a hot topic at present, the tennis ace has revealed that her parents imposed a 'boyfriend' ban on her when she was younger, in order to keep her focused on her training. "My parents were very much against [boyfriends] as it interfered with training," she told The Times. "When I was younger I wasn't even allowed to hang out with my girl friends. Article continues below "A lot of the time I was very resentful [of the ban]. But it made me very confident and comfortable in my own company, which is also a big strength."

'I tried Aldi's Oasis Champagne Supernova bubbly and it's class in a glass for under £15'
The Oasis mania has officially kicked off. As the iconic band begins its highly anticipated reunion tour today, July 4, it marks the first time the Gallagher Brothers have shared the stage in 16 years. To celebrate this monumental moment in British music history, Aldi decided to launch a limited-edition 'Supernova Champagne' as a tribute to the one hit that we all can pretty much recite word for word. Now, I am partial to a bit of bubbly, especially when it gets sunny outside. Also, if we're being honest, I can find myself belting out 'Wonderwall' at the end of a good night much like any other self-respecting Scot does. Set to officially go available from July 7 at the supermarket's Bury new Road in Manchester, a nod to where the band first began their story, I was lucky enough to get my hands on a bottle to try out ahead of the legendary comeback. While I usually only keep champers for a special occasion, the return of arguably the biggest band in Britpop history combined with the warm summer weather made me think, why not eh? A 'world's best' bottle of champagne for under £15 To really celebrate Oasis' return, Aldi's limited-edition bubbly has been crafted using its award-winning Veuve Monsigny Champagne Brut that is so popular it was recently crowned as 'the best in the world' at a prestigious awards ceremony. If, you're anything like me, you'll expect champagne to be quite pricey. Fortunately, the supermarket's only costs £14.95 for a 75cl, meaning it doesn't just beat out luxury competitors on taste, but also price. Another little nod I personally loved was the design of the bottle, which has been repurposed to now feature a sleek vinyl record on the label, making it a cute keepsake for diehard fans. Class in a glass As for the champagne itself, let me tell you, I had high hopes considering its reputation. So, did it live up to the hype? Of course, before I even tried a glass, I kept it chilled in the fridge for sometime, because bubbly needs to be chilled for the full effect. As soon as I uncorked the bottle, I'll say that I instantly got a sharp, vibrant aroma that made believe it wouldn't be too weak. As for the taste itself, it's been described as "a classic blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier" that have been matured in cellars, bringing through notes of ripe apple, soft red fruit, and delicate florals. Nevertheless, I was actually surprised by how delicate it was, both in colour and taste. It wasn't overly-yellow like some champers, nor was it too fizzy, making me feel a touch like Goldilocks trying it out. For me, this was perfect balance of zest and sweetness, with a touch of a dry finish, but it never got overly acidity which can be the case with some champagne's. In fact, this was quite mellow and almost way to easy to drink multiple glasses in one go. Overall verdict As it turns out, Aldi's champagne might be something of a "Champagne Supernova in the sky" for devoted fans - or, that is, in my personal opinion. Aside from its luxury and award-winning reputation, it offers a delicate, light, yet no less vibrant, glass of bubbly that will be ideal for toasting at any special event, especially for the duration of Oasis' tour. As for me, while I never managed to nab tickets for the tour, I will finish off my own celebrations by polishing off this bottle with a Spotify playlist of the band's greatest hits on in the background. Want to nab your own bottle? Then the limited-edition Supernova Champagne (£14.95, 75cl) will be available in Aldi's Bury New Road, Manchester store from July 7, while stocks last.

Tyson Fury's latest comeback antics is all part of a Netflix script to lead up to Anthony Joshua fight… claims insider
FLIX THE BILL Tyson Fury's latest comeback antics is all part of a Netflix script to lead up to Anthony Joshua fight… claims insider TYSON FURY'S latest antics are all part of a Netflix script leading up to the Anthony Joshua showdown - according to their shared bestie Derek Chisora. The 41-year-old Zimbabwe-Brit has shared the ring three times with the Gypsy King and become a pal to the giant reality TV star. Advertisement 5 At Home with the Furys aired on Netflix Credit: Courtesy of Netflix 5 Anthony Joshua remains linked with fighting Fury Credit: Getty He is also a long-time Finchley ABC mentor to our 35-year-old London 2012 legend and so has never chased that big-money AJ fight. Chisora - the veteran warhorse who somehow stays friends with everyone in the bleeding business - knows the British fight game inside out. And he reckons 36-year-old Fury's shock December retirement - and everything up until Thursday's claim he has secured an April trilogy with Oleksandr Usyk at Wembley - are all little streaming episodes leading up to the overdue biggest fight in British boxing history. At the IBA show in Turkey - where Del Boy even spent a second on Fury's LAP at ringside - he told SunSport: 'Whatever you think is happening, is not happening, because something big is happening soon. Advertisement READ MORE IN BOXING A BRIT TASTY Fury and AJ to have separate 'comeback fights' before sealing Brit showdown 'Watch this space - something big is happening soon. It's a great story. 'He announced on the biggest platform that he's retiring. That blows up the internet with a shock retirement announcement from his car. 'It creates the build-up, it's entertainment, that's the whole point. 'When I saw the cameras around Tyson, I knew he was coming back, he's definitely coming back and this is a good selling point.

Advertisement Derek Chisora pleads with Anthony Joshua not to give repeated drug cheat Jarrell Miller another chance for grudge fight He wrongly suggests all of the British boxing media has spent time pulling him down off of the pedestal we created on the back of his amateur and pro heroics. But he admits that his mate is wounded by over-the-top criticism, often done only for clicks. He said: 'What upsets AJ is that he has done so much for British boxing but the reporters - and people who talk about him - always put him down. When SunSport passionately denies the charge, he adds: 'He won a gold medal and drove up interest in the sport and created pay-per-view madness for everyone but nobody ever says 'congratulations and thank you'. Advertisement 'The guy has come from nothing and made something of himself. 'I feel bad for him because he just wants to enjoy what he has and boxing but people behind a keyboard try to kill him. 'This is why he just keeps quiet and stays in his own lane. He just wants to be happy.' 5 Fury fought and beat Derek Chisora three times Credit: Getty Advertisement
