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..
21. The Three Fishes - Mitton, Lancashire
📍Mitton Road, Mitton BB7 9PQ. 📝 The Michelin Guide says: "Chef Nigel Howarth has always been a strong ambassador for Lancashire produce – particularly from the Ribble Valley – and now has his own vegetable garden and polytunnel at this contemporary dining pub. Set menus change with the seasons, and the cooking lacks pretence, instead allowing the true flavours to shine through. The cheese rolls and mini Eccles cakes look set to become staples." | UGC Photo: UGC
22. Twelve - Thornton, Lancashire
📍Watergate St, Chester CH1 2LA. 🏵️ Bib Gourmand recommendation. 📝 The Michelin Guide says: "Dine surrounded by exposed bricks, reclaimed wood and graffiti art at this passionately run cocktail bar and restaurant set beside one of Europe’s tallest working windmills. The hearty, wholesome cooking has a refined edge and comes at great value for the quality of produce used. Dishes provide a good dose of flavour and the combinations are pleasingly complementary." | Google Photo: Google
23. Upstairs at the Grill - Chester, Cheshire
📍Watergate St, Chester CH1 2LA. 📝 The Michelin Guide says: "Inspired by the steakhouses of New York, Upstairs at the Grill has a chic yet cosy atmosphere, courtesy of its mix of modern and retro elements. Prime quality steaks include porterhouse and bone-in fillet or rib-eye; the 5-week dry-aged cuts are from premium Welsh beef, and various rare breeds are sourced from around the world." | Upstairs at the Grill Photo: Upstairs at the Grill
24. White Bull - Oswaldtwistle, Lancashire
📍166 New Lane, Oswaldtwistle BB5 3QW. 📝 The Michelin Guide says: "This neighbourhood pub’s menus cover everything from bar nibbles to pub classics; they offer lunch, afternoon tea and dinner – and even serve breakfast on Sundays. The endearing team take care in everything they do, portions are generous, and dishes not only look good but taste good too. The traditional Lancashire cheese, onion and ale pie is a must-try." | White Bull Photo: White Bull
