Many of our readers will note that Food and Wine Gazette is not necessarily influenced by lists or guides. We consider them important to help you discover new places but should only be taken as guidance.
Nevertheless, this guide, which is based on dining surveys that factor experience of the respondents into the rating system is rather unique. The 2015 results are based on over 160,000 reviews contributed by more than 4,500 people who registered for the survey.
For the detailed list, visit their site where you can discover the 200 leading chefs in Europe according to this survey.
