Thirteen of the city’s restaurants have been included in this year’s guide
THE 2019 edition of The Waitrose Good Food Guide has revealed its top restaurants, award winners and guide entries.
Seven northern restaurants have been included in the guide's prestigious Top 50 list, including two new entries and two in the Top 20.
In total, seventy restaurants, pubs and cafes across Yorkshire have been recommended in the 2019 guide, with thirteen based in Leeds.
The guide relies on public vote and mystery visits from a panel of expert judges to determine the best places to eat in the UK.
Chef Simon Rogan's L'Enclume restaurant in Cumbria came second in the Top 50, scoring a perfect 10/10 for cooking for the seventh year running. Like last year, the two Michelin star restaurant was once again pipped to the top spot by Restaurant Nathan Outlaw in Cornwall, which ended Rogan's five year reign at the top of the list in 2018’s guide.
Clare Smyth’s Core restaurant in Notting Hill, London, which only opened in August 2017, placed third with a perfect ten score for cooking, making it the guide’s highest ever new entry.
The Moorcock Inn in Sowerby Bridge was singled out for ‘Best Use of Ingredients’ and also picked up a special editor’s award as 'Best New Entry'. Judges commented: “food in the must-book restaurant marries localism, foraging and fermentation with an enthusiasm for cooking over fire.”
Masterchef star Liz Cottam's Home was one of Leeds' new entries in the guide this year, as was stylish Japanese restaurant, Ishho.
Other new Yorkshire entries included Ashoka in Sheffield, Partisan in York and No Name, also in Sheffield.
Meanwhile, restaurants including Man Behind The Curtain, The Reliance, Brasserie 44 and Friends of Ham all retain their places in the guide.
