Two of Liverpool's most notable chefs believe the city is getting closer to a Michelin star with "the food scene the strongest it's ever been".
Paul Askew, chef patron at the Art School, and Manifest's Paul Durand told the ECHO there is lots to be positive about in Liverpool's food scene despite the city missing out on a Michelin star. Michelin recently released its list of restaurants awarded the prestigious star in its annual guide based on food, quality, cooking techniques, value and consistency.
While West Lancashire was a big winner in the 2023 edition, with three restaurants in Aughton sharing four stars between them, Liverpool's wait for the top accolade remains elusive. Several Liverpool restaurants were recently named in the guide, including Mr Askew's Art School and Barnacle, Mr Durand's Manifest, the city centre Roski, and Belzan on Smithdown Road. Fraiche in Birkenhead has held a star for a number of years.
