More than twenty restaurants in and around Merseyside are featured in the latest edition of the Michelin Guide.
The Guide awards up to three Michelin Stars for excellence to a select few establishments, while it awards Bib Gourmands to choice eateries and recommends others.
Sadly, no restaurants in Merseyside currently have a Michelin Star, however, two eateries in nearby Aughton have one Star, with a third having a whopping two Stars and a Michelin Green Star.
Despite Liverpool being a Michelin Star desert, many restaurants in and around the city are recommended - - such as 8, The Art School, Belzan, Manifest and more - in the prestigious Michelin Guide which is updated monthly..

17. Northcote - Langho, Lancashire
ðNorthcote Road, Langho BB6 8BE. â The Michelin Guide says: "One MICHELIN Star. The Northcote Hotel's restaurant continues to excel under the stewardship of Executive Chef Lisa Goodwin-Allen. The cooking is underpinned by superb produce, which often comes from local, biodynamic and organic suppliers or their own kitchen garden. This is fashioned into dishes with distinct, bold flavours, brought together in complementary combinations. The extensive wine list includes some exceptional bottles and a glass-walled "Chef's Table" room lets you in on the action." | Google Photo: Google

18. OXA - Wirral, Merseyside
ð11 Rose Mount, Oxton, Birkenhead CH43 5SG. ð The Michelin Guide says: "Attractive neighbourhood bistro which offers an appealing selection of small plates and sharing dishes, as well as an excellent value lunch menu. Cooking has a British base and the occasional Asian touch, with dishes such as tuna with dashi and onions providing great depth of flavour. Thereâs a lovely atmosphere about the place and the interesting wine list features almost exclusively British choices." | OXA Photo: OXA

19. Rosk - Liverpool, Merseyside
ð16 Rodney Street, Liverpool L1 2TE. ð The Michelin Guide says: "An amalgamation of the ownersâ names, Röski is a small modern restaurant decorated in grey tones. Modern tasting menus list complex, carefully crafted dishes which feature many different ingredients and are eye-catchingly presented. Local produce is cleverly used to give dishes a playful slant." | Roski Photo: Roski

20. sÅâlÅ - Aughton, Lancashire
ð17 Town Green Lane Aughton, L39 6SE. â The Michelin Guide says: "One MICHELIN Star. ð Having worked at various well-regarded restaurants around the country, Tim Allen brought plenty of experience to his first solo venture in this brightly decorated and warmly run converted pub. His contemporary, seasonally pertinent dishes come with some unique touches; he lets each flavour-packed core ingredient shine but also carefully considers the textures of each dish. The lunch menu represents good value." | Emma Vian/Google Photo: Emma Vian/Google
