Foodies, hang onto your forks. Tripadvisor has released the 2015 Traveller's Choice Awards for restaurants around the world -- a whopping 356, to be exact.
Taking top gong is Spain's Martin Berasategui, followed by Canada's Europea. Third place went to Maison Lameloise in France.
Taking fourth and fifth place respectively were (surprisingly) two restaurants from England -- Birmingham's Adam's and Nottingham's Restaurant Sat Bains.
For those not thinking of jet-setting any time soon, never fear. There are plenty of Aussie restaurants you can visit to get your feast on.
A good start would be Shannon Bennett's Vue de monde, which was named No.1 in Australia, No.2 in the South Pacific and 24th in the world.
Queensland's The Fish House, Adelaide's Chianti, Sydney's Quay Restaurant and Canberra's Sage Restaurant also made the list.
Can't afford to fork out? Why not bring the taste of Vue de monde to you? Head chef Shannon Bennett has provided The Huffington Post with with an exclusive recipe, listed below.
Warning: This is not a 'shrimp on the barbie' affair. It is a fancy recipe from a fancy restaurant. It looks like this.

Otherwise, enjoy.
