The latest additions to the Michelin Guide have been announced - and another Manchester restaurant has received a nod. The Sparrows, famed for its European pasta and dumplings, has been added to the January edition of the Michelin Inspectors' Favourite New Restaurants.
The renowned food spot is now one of 17 Greater Manchester restaurants featured in the prestigious food guide. For January, 24 new entries were announced ahead of the annual launch ceremony which will take place at the end of March and will see all the new Michelin Stars, Bib Gourmands and Green Stars unveiled.
The much-loved restaurant originally opened on Mirabel Street in early 2019 before expanding to a slightly larger unit under railway arches in the Red Bank District of the city. While the modern, central European restaurant might be a little off the beaten path it has been heaped with praise from national and regional food critics over the past few years, with Jay Rayner hailing it a "glorious carb-fest" when he last visited.
