Britain's top restaurant isn't London's hippest new place, instead Anthony's in the northern city of Leeds has been chosen best restaurant based on the reviews of respondents to the Harden's restaurant guide survey. Flinn, who is only 24, once worked at El Bulli, the strangely avant-garde restaurant near Barcelona that has been a hit with food critics. Some of the odd tricks at El Bulli include turning solid foods into foam, foie gras into powder and "liquid ravioli." In his Flinn's dining room, some of the favorites include roast langoustines with fennel tea consomme, roast duck with chocolate and olive-oil bonbon, and peanut ice cream served with artichoke caramel. The restaurant opened last spring and is already booked through the new year.
