Barcelona restaurant Disfrutar was named Thursday as the best in the world by the influential 50 Best list in a year dominated by Spanish and Latin American restaurants.
Disfrutar (which means "Enjoy" in Spanish) opened in December 2014 next to the Ninot market in the heart of the Catalan city.
50 Best, run by British magazine Restaurant, describes it as having "far-reaching technique, original thinking and ground-breaking flavours".
It is run by three chefs who trained at the renowned El Bulli in Roses, Spain, which has topped the 50 Best list five times, including the first-ever in 2002.
A Spanish eatery also took second place: Asador Etxebarri, in the Basque town of Atxondo.
