Five North Yorkshire restaurants have been named in the UK’s Top 100 list by SquareMeal.
The food experts said the list of the top restaurants in the UK “forms the backbone of what we represent as a brand.”
SquareMeal commented: “It’s a chance for us to shout about the best-of-the-best in both emerging and established culinary roles and allows us to celebrate the incredible chefs and hospitality teams out there going above and beyond to give their diners top-class experiences.
“We say it every year, but this year truly must have presented the highest calibre of restaurants yet.
“Whittling down the UK’s burgeoning dining scene into just 100 top spots was an excruciating job that took months of planning and deliberation by both our team, and you, our readers.
“Despite incredibly tough economic circumstances, our homegrown hospitality professionals have overcome it all and managed to deliver top-class experiences for diners, with flair, ingenuity and individuality.”
They added: “Each of the top 100 results are a unique combination of our own in-house critic-led opinions and thousands of diner votes.
“It’s this dual approach that makes our list incomparable, representing not only our professional opinion but thousands of real-life experiences that help to reinforce and bolster our final decisions.”
