General manager Philip Newman-Hall said: “We have held two Michelin stars for over 30 years and the great thing about the Travellers’ Choice awards is the votes come straight from our customers. That truly reflects the service and quality they received during their visit and the standard our restaurant has held since 1984.”
In the UK, Le Manoir came second to Midsummer House in Cambridge, a historic Victorian villa alongside the River Cam, which also ranked second worldwide.
The overall winner was El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Spain, a Catalonian family-owned restaurant.
TripAdvisor spokesman James Kay said: “A great fine dining establishment can give a real visitor boost not just to that business, but to the local area too.
“With winning restaurants spread right across the UK, these awards are proof of the country’s thriving fine dining scene.”
