Inside the McDonald’s that’s been described as the best in the world – and it tastes even better than normal
A MCDONALD'S restaurant in the UK has been described as "the best in the world" with some claiming the food there is better than at any other branch.
The fast food chain is one of the most popular in the world, with more than 38,000 restaurants selling their burgers and fries in over 100 different countries.
However, the best of those tens of thousands of branches could be found in Wales, if reviews are to be believed.
The McDonald's at Enterprise Park in Welshpool, Powys, Wales has been described as the world's best by some customers, who were impressed by the quality of the food there.
Among its admirers is chef Gareth Ward, who has two Michelin stars, five AA rosettes and a multiple award-winning restaurant.
In with Wales Online, he said it was on another level to other Maccy Ds restaurants elsewhere.

One person claimed the restaurant "made what should have been a stressful food stop really enjoyable."
Another said: "The staff are polite, the service is quick and the food is fresh - exactly what you expect from McDonald's but seldom receive from most of their restaurants. This one is different."
A third added: "One of the best McDonald's I've used. The service is great and the staff are very friendly. The food tastes great and the fries are always hot not like In other restaurants."
The restaurant was opened in May 2021 by franchisee Bob Beckett.
This year, it could see a few changes with January bringing some alterations to McDonald's, including menu changes and restaurant updates.
There'll be a new burger in the shape of the "undeniably delicious" Double McPlant burger, which will be available in all restaurants from January 4.
A Double McPlant will cost £4.89 and £6.49 as part of a meal, but prices may vary depending on location.
The burger has two Beyond Meat patties, a vegan sesame bun, mustard, ketchup, vegan sandwich sauce, fresh onion, pickles, lettuce, tomato and vegan cheese.
When The Sun taste tested the McPlant burger, we found it tasted just like a quarter pounder with cheese.
The restaurant is also planning to redesign its front counters so it's clearer for customers when they order.
The changes are meant to reduce crowding at the collection point, leave more room around kiosks, reduce queue lengths and create more space for those enjoying their meals.
These may look different depending on the size of your nearest branch.
