TripAdvisor once again looked to avid travellers to compile a list of the world’s top restaurants.

The top 10 were decided by an algorithm that analyses millions of opinions and reviews to determine the best of the best.

Because the restaurants are reviewed and chosen by travellers, you know that they’re crowd-pleasers, which means that you won’t find yourself eating something weird and avant-garde next time you’re travelling abroad.

Forbes with more from TripAdvisor:

“The Travelers’ Choice Awards for Restaurants honor travelers’ favorite dining establishments worldwide,” TripAdvisor explains.

“Based on a full year of TripAdvisor reviews, these restaurants were consistently given high ratings and praise by diners across the globe. Award winners were determined by factoring in the quantity and quality of reviews, gathered over a 12-month period.”

Let’s get stuck into the top 10:

1. TRB Hutong, Beijing, China

Top-rated restaurant TRB Huntong is housed in a 600-year-old temple and serves contemporary European cuisine with a focus on French cooking. Diners can expect to see dishes such as lobster and poached scallops on the menu.

2. Epicure, Paris, France

Hen poached in a bladder? I might give that one a miss.
