Lima's Maido named world's top restaurant by 50 Best
Restaurants from three continents occupy the podium of the listing, which was launched by a British press group to compete with France's Michelin red guides.
Asador Etxebarri, which offers Basque cooking at Atxondo, Spain, was second and Quintonil in Mexico City was third.
The top French restaurant was in eighth place: chef Bruno Verjus's Table in Paris.
Maxime Frederic, at the helm of the Cheval Blanc Paris pastry shop and head pastry chef at Plenitude, was named Best Pastry Chef.
The 50 Best award has been presented since 2002 by media group William Reed, based on reviews by a thousand "independent experts" such as chefs, specialist journalists and restaurant owners.
The list has been contested above all by French chefs, who accuse it of being clubby and opaque, but it is generally considered to be ahead of the Michelin guide in identifying the latest food trends.
Its detractors -- French, but also Japanese and American - launched The List in 2015, a ranking of 1,000 restaurants across the world which uses an algorithm to aggregate and analyze data from more than 400 international sources. — Agence France-Presse

Trump sets deadline of ‘10 or 12 days' for Russia on war with Ukraine
Trump has not always followed up on his tough talk about Putin with action, citing what he deems a good relationship that the two men have had previously. REUTERS/ Marcos Brindicci/ File photo TURNBERRY, Scotland — US President Donald Trump set a new deadline of 10 or 12 days for Russia to make progress toward ending the war in Ukraine or face consequences, underscoring frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin for the 3-1/2-year-old conflict. Trump has threatened both sanctions on Russia and buyers of its exports unless progress is made. Speaking in Scotland, where he is holding meetings with European leaders and playing golf, Trump said he was disappointed in Putin and shortening a 50-day deadline he had set on the issue earlier this month. "I'm going to make a new deadline of about...10 or 12 days from today," Trump told reporters during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. "There's no reason in just don't see any progress being made." There was no immediate comment from the Kremlin. Trump, who has expressed annoyance also with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has not always followed up on his tough talk about Putin with action, citing what he deems a good relationship that the two men have had previously. On Monday Trump indicated he was not interested in more talks with Putin. He said sanctions and tariffs would be used as penalties for Moscow if it did not meet Trump's demands. "There's no reason to wait. If you know what the answer is going to be, why wait? And it would be sanctions and maybe tariffs, secondary tariffs," Trump said. "I don't want to do that to Russia. I love the Russian people." The US president has repeatedly voiced exasperation with Putin for continuing attacks on Ukraine despite US efforts to end the war. Trump has played up successes in other parts of the world where the United States has helped to broker peace agreements and has been flattered by some leaders who suggest he should be given the Nobel Peace Prize. "I'm disappointed in President Putin," Trump said on Monday. "I'm going to reduce that 50 days that I gave him to a lesser number because I think I already know the answer what's going to happen." Before returning to the White House in January, Trump had promised to end the conflict within 24 hours. "We thought we had that settled numerous times, and then President Putin goes out and starts launching rockets into some city like Kyiv and kills a lot of people in a nursing home or whatever," Trump said. "And I say that's not the way to do it." — Reuters
