The UK Victorian seaside town that is home to one of the top restaurants in the WORLD

OUT of millions of incredible restaurants in the world, one of the very best is right here in the UK. La Liste, is a global guide that ranks the world's best restaurants, pastry shops, and hotels, has revealed L'Enclume is one of the best at number one spot - tied with nine others from around the world. 5 You'll find the restaurant in Grange-over-Sands, a former Victorian seaside resort in Cumbria. Grange-over-Sands was originally a small fishing village before becoming a popular Victorian seaside resort. And while Grange-over-Sands is a coastal town and has a promenade, it does not have a traditional sandy beach. Instead, it's known for its extensive saltmarsh area that forms part of Morecambe Bay. But the town can still be popular during the summer with its long promenade as well as the countryside manor, Holker Hall and Gardens. And according to La Liste, Grange-over-Sands is a must for foodies. L'Enclume made it to the very top of their list, ranking as one of the best 1,000 restaurants in the world. It came tied in first place with another eight restaurants from around the world, like Switzerland, France and Japan - all of which got a score of 99.5 per cent out of 100. It's on the site of a 13th century blacksmith in a beautiful pale stone building. The restaurant serves a 20-course tasting menu which has developed from the use of wild herbs and flowers, and costs £265.
