It's not exactly snail porridge but a Sydney restaurant's orange, honey and black pepper sorbet is an international hit.
Tetsuya's, which serves up the unique fruity dish with a twist, has been voted the fourth best restaurant in the world by influential British industry magazine, 'Restaurant'.
A converted English pub, The Fat Duck, whose signature dish is snail porridge, took top honours in Restaurant Magazine's World's 50 Best Restaurant awards.
Tetsuya's was one of only three Australian eateries to make it onto the list, with Melbourne's Flower Drum at number 33 and Sydney's Rockpool at 42.
Tetsuya Wakuda arrived in Sydney from Japan in 1982, and his restaurant has been a Sydney landmark for the past 18 years.
Tetsuya's cuisine is based on the Japanese philosophy of natural seasonal flavours, enhanced by classic French technique, cooked in an Australian way.
The top 50 restaurant list was compiled by an international panel of more than 500 chefs, food critics and restaurateurs, comparing factors including culinary excellence, service and overall dining experience and listed in 'Restaurant' magazine.
