Three Welsh restaurants have been included in The Good Food Guide's top 20 for 2022, with the vaunted guide branding the group among the "most exciting restaurants" in Britain. Ynyshir, near Machynlleth, claimed the number two spot, while Aberystwyth's SY23 came in at 12 and Annwn in Pembrokeshire was 14th.
Ynyshir, which has already scooped the accolade of two Michelin stars, a first in Wales, in 2022, also was awarded the prestigious title of World Class by the Guide, which has been operating for 70 years and is now available via an app as well as a printed version. ‘World Class’ restaurants are run by extraordinary chef-proprietors who are redefining the profession, pushing the boundaries of what eating in a restaurant is all about. The Guide sees them as the 'stuff of bucket lists' and they have the vision and talent drawing not just national but international recognition.
The Top 20 list was chosen by The Good Food Guide’s independent, impartial inspectors, and includes restaurants from across Britain, from Darlington to Cartmel to Birmingham, with Cumbria's L’Enclume securing the top spot, pipping Ynyshir into second place.
