The restaurant, which consistently achieves TripAdvisor's five-star 'certificate of excellence' award, was considered best-in-class based on a full year of TripAdvisor reviews.
Bertrand Jelensperger, senior vice president for TripAdvisor Restaurants, congratulated all the restaurants around the world that had been recognised this year.
"These Travelers' Choice Awards highlight eateries of all types known for impeccable quality and service," he said. "Winners should be proud of their award, as it is a true testament to the positive experience they have served to diners."
The restaurants listed in the Travellers' Choice Favourite Fine Dining Restaurants UK, which features high-end, special occasion restaurants known for impeccable food and service, also include Adam's of Birmingham, which took top spot, the Black Swan at Oldstead in North Yorkshire, which came second, and L'Enclume at Cartmel in Cumbria which came third.
Paul Ainsworth at No. 6, Padstow, Cornwall, was fourth, and Aizle, Edinburgh, which was fifth.
Other restaurants to make the top 10 were The Old Stamp House Restaurant, Ambleside, Cumbria (7th), Alyn Williams at the Westbury, London (8th), Castle Terrace Restaurant, Edinburgh (9th), and Restaurant Sat Bains, Nottingham, Nottinghamshire (10th).
