A huge award ceremony celebrating restaurant excellence arrived in Manchester on Monday, February 5.
The Michelin Guide awards were held at Manchester's Midland Hotel in the city centre, and the best chefs from Great Britain and Ireland flocked to see which restaurants would be given the ultimate accolade of a Michelin Star.
Eighteen restaurants have been awarded one Michelin star status in 2024, six were given two stars, and one three stars.
Six green stars were also handed out for restaurants leading in the industry for their commitment to sustainable practices.
Despite the location, Manchester restaurants were missing from the list of awards - although hopes had been high that we would see some of the city's fine dining establishments join Ancoats' Mana - our one Michelin-starred restaurant.
Stockport's 'Where the Light Gets In' had been seen as a strong contender, but sadly Manchester was left empty-handed.
London walked away with ten new one-Michelin-star restaurants, and renowned celebrity chef and TV presenter Michelle Roux was on hand to present the chefs with these prestigious awards.
