We’ll have to wait until Wednesday to find out whether Massimo Bottura's restaurant Osteria Francescana, in Modena, Italy will be able to hold on to the top spot and how many London restaurants will make the list.

As has become routine, the panel behind the awards have unleashed a teaser in the form of the full list from numbers 100 to 51.
There’s not much change for London, with the same three restaurants occupying this section of the list as they did last year. Fergus Henderson’s legendary Clerkenwell restaurant St John holds firm at 91, while Lyle’s in Shoreditch rises from 65 to 54 and Chiswick’s Hedone drops from 60 to 98.
Last year’s top-ranked London restaurant was Notting Hill’s The Ledbury at 14, followed by The Clove Club in Shoreditch at 26 and Heston Blumenthal’s Dinner in Knightsbridge at 45.
It is not known whether all of these restaurants remain in the top 50 or have dropped out of the top 100 altogether. Of course, there’s always the potential of a brand new entry as well.
