The Michelin Guide awards stars for excellence to restaurants across the globe, handing out ratings from one to three stars. While Liverpool features in the latest Guide, none of the city’s fantastic restaurants currently have a coveted star.
In fact, the city has never achieved a star, despite being home to dozens of truly incredible places to eat, and offering unique dining experiences I simply don’t believe you can find anywhere else.
The 2025 Michelin restaurant selection for Great Britain and Ireland will be revealed at a sparkling ceremony in Glasgow on February 10, with the latest Michelin Star winners to be announced.
While we wait to find out if any Liverpool restaurants have finally earned the renowned accolade, I have put together my own guide to brilliant eateries which I believe deserve a star - as well as those recommended by LiverpoolWorld readers.
