A little love for Australian diningI'm always a bit dubious about these 'World's Best' lists. Who actually gets to decide what's best? And can you really rank restaurants across the globe as though we're comparing apples with apples? I'm not entirely sold on the exercise, but it's hard to begrudge a bit of homegrown recognition. Sydney's Saint Peter has just landed at number 50, putting Australian dining back into the rankings for the first time in eight years. Whether you put much stock in these lists or not, it's a bloody good result for Josh, Julie and their team.
