A new Liverpool restaurant has been added to the coveted Michelin Guide, which celebrates the best food offerings around the globe.
Updated monthly by expert critics, the guide has this month welcomed NORD - a new city centre fine-dining venue - to its impressive listings. Despite only opening a year go, the Hold Hall Street eatery has already made a name for itself as a top-class restaurant, and also won at Condé Nast Traveller’s first ever UK Top New Restaurant Awards earlier this year.
Celebrating their Michelin success on social media, the NORD team said: “NORD is officially part of the Michelin Guide! Less than a year after opening, we’ve been included in this prestigious guide, which is an incredible testament to our chef Daniel Heffy and all his team, from our KPs through to our front of house!
“This is a significant milestone for Liverpool and all our incredible local suppliers, from @wardsfish and @edgeandson to @northbysudouest, who provide us with the finest locally sourced ingredients. Thank you to all our guests for their continued support! When we said ‘2024 is our year,’ we really did mean it. Matt, John, Dan and all the team at NORD and GSG.”
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. While Liverpool still lacks a single coveted Michelin star, there are three restaurants nearby which hold at least one, with the impressive Moor Hall in Aughton being the proud owner of two Michelin and one Green star.
9. Roski, Rodney Street, Liverpool
📍 16 Rodney Street, Liverpool L1 2TE. 📝 The Michelin Guide says: "An amalgamation of the owners’ 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
10. Moor Hall, Prescot Road, Aughton ⭐⭐🌱
📍Prescot Road, Aughton L39 6RT. 📝 The Michelin Guide says: "Two MICHELIN Stars. Excellent cooking, worth a detour! Plus a MICHELIN Green Star for gastronomy & sustainability. Your meal commences with a tantalising array of snacks – the last served in the kitchen where you can chat with Head Chef Mark Birchall." | Moor Hall Photo: Moor Hall
11. Next Door, Main Street, Frodsham
📍 68 Main Street, Frodsham WA6 7AU. 📝 The Michelin Guide says: "Their family butcher’s two shops down has been going for three generations and supplies all of the meats for this charming restaurant. It sits within a characterful 17C timbered house and features a series of low-ceilinged rooms and a lovely internal courtyard. Dishes are modern, well-crafted and tasty." | Image: restaurantnextdoor.co.uk Photo: estaurantnextdoor.co.uk
12. sō–lō, Green Lane, Aughton ⭐
📍 17 Town Green Lane Aughton, L39 6SE. 📝 The Michelin Guide says: "One MICHELIN Star. 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
