Food industry bible Square Meal has revealed its annual top 100 restaurants in the UK, and one Manchester eatery has landed itself in the top 20. Adam Reid at The French has been named number 16 in the prestigious list.
In its entry, the grand restaurant in the Midland hotel says ‘Adam Reid’s seasonal, modern British food cleverly mixes contemporary cooking with memories from his Manchester upbringing’. Reid took over The French in 2016, after it was relaunched by chef Simon Rogan just a few years before.
Rogan’s recently awarded three Michelin star L’Enclume also features on this year’s Square Meal list, at number five. Meanwhile, the much celebrated two Michelin star Moor Hall near Ormskirk is at number seven, and Michael O’Hare’s The Man Behind The Curtain in Leeds is at 12.
