Best Fine Dining in Daresbury

"The Ivy's terrace made headlines for all the wrong reasons when a fire broke out there just a few months after it opened. It hasn't happened again since though, so you're all good. This bougie London brand is still going strong, despite the pandemic, and its views of the ever-changing skyline are worth a visit even if you can take or leave the food (see Gordo on scathing form when he reviewed The Ivy when it first opened in Manchester)"

"Not satisfied being one of the most gorgeous restaurants in Manchester, The Ivy Spinningfields is offering up Insta-ready puds to match the surroundings. A long-standing feature on their dessert menu, the Chocolate Bombe is a thing of beauty. A hard chocolate shell is turned molten by a hot caramel sauce to reveal a delectable vanilla ice cream and honeycomb core within."

"From the ground floor brasserie serving all kinds of classic British dishes to the swanky Asian-inspired restaurant upstairs, the Ivy is the place to be. Not only are the interiors highly Instagrammable, but the food and drink selection is just as impressive."

"This restaurant is definitely the place to head to if you want to wow your guests!. Not only should you choose The Art School because the food is delicious and award-worthy, but the atmosphere and added extras are sublime. Their private dining can seat up to 28 of your guests and comes with your very own private kitchen, bar and bathroom and, even if a larger party is required, exclusive use of the restaurant can be arranged subject to an exclusivity fee."

"This award-winning restaurant acquired its name when external renovation works revealed the original company name within the stonework. Staff take pride in serving modern international dishes complemented by the use of local, fresh and seasonal produce. The restaurant is connected to Hope Street Hotel and is open seven days a week, catering for varied events from wedding suppers to meetings."

"A 2 AA-Rosette restaurant in Liverpool, The London Carriage Works serves modern British dishes using local, seasonal produce. With a name arising from the former occupiers of its Victorian site, the restaurant is now a modern venue with wooden flooring…"

"Adam Reid at The French is one of the city's top fine dining restaurants, boasting an array of awards from 4AA Rosettes to multiple inclusions in The Good Food Guide. The chef, a Manchester native, likes to put a twist on modern British food across a choice of four, six or nine courses."

"The Midland Hotel, 16 Peter Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M60 2DS. Adam Reid has kept The French at the top of Manchester’s restaurant tree for many years, and while the grand dining room is opulent, the vibe feels less formal and the food continues to impress."

"A Manchester-favourite for special occasions, Australasia – also known as ‘the one you enter via the glass triangle on the street’ – features a clean, minimal interior, that absolutely oozes chic vibes. The menu is just as wonderful, too, with extensive Australasian-inspired options varying from sushi, Robata grilled meats, Asian small plates and more. Cocktail-wise, it’s quite the field day – with endless Asian-inspired flavours to try out during your visit."

"This stylish subterranean restaurant in Spinningfields has long been a mecca for Manchester’s elite. Known for its splendid cocktails and sushi plates, this Valentine’s the restaurant will also have a special sharing dessert Valentine’s Bento Box for couples to split between them."

"Find the glass pyramid and find one of Manchester's most luxurious restaurants. A haven of white washed wood and a seriously chic take on beach style, Australasia is inspired by Down Under, with a menu that leans towards Japan with sushi and steaks."

"Five-star hotel The Lowry underwent a swanky new makeover in late 2019, including a new look for the two-AA-rosette restaurant and bar. Their luxurious dining & drinking terrace is the perfect place to relax out of reach of the bustle of the city centre. With a sunny view of the River Irwell and hospitality to beat, this is a luxury to be experienced in Manchester."

"Situated in The Lowry Hotel on the Manchester/ Salford border, this fine dining breakfast menu is unbeatable. The restaurant itself is glass-walled and overlooks the Santiago Calatrava’s Trinity Bridge. The decor includes purple leather chairs, semi-circular banquettes, Fornasetti plates and mirrors."

"A specialist Chinese restaurant in Manchester’s West Didsbury, Green Tea is unique in its offering of food specifically inspired by the Benxi region of C ..."

"Jack Rosenthal Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M15 4RA. Opened by former MasterChef winner Simon Wood, this is a large, welcoming venue. Whether you opt for the fine-dining a la carte, good-value set lunch or tasting menu, the kitchen allows fresh ingredients to shine."

"Named after chef patron Simon Wood, 2015 winner of MasterChef, this First Street restaurant offers unintimidating high end dining in a relaxed setting. From truffled tortellini to tomahawk sharers, you won’t leave hungry."

"If you’re looking for a picturesque first date cocktail bar, Revolution at the Albert Dock boasts, waterside views of the iconic Liverpool landmark and an excellent cocktail collection as well. Cocktails always taste much better when enjoyed in the sun and with stunning views of Liverpool’s pride and joy, the Albert Dock, you’ll easily find yourself losing a few hours here. Unit 4M Atlantic Pavilion L3 4AE"

"If you need a great bar in Liverpool that allows kids, you're in luck: Revolution is child friendly until later in the evening. Their menu is packed with tasty classics – including pizzas and fish and chips for fussier younger ones – whereas you can sip your way through one of their renowned vodka cocktails. All this while hanging out in a cool bar by the Albert Dock; what more could you want?"

"As a recent addition to the The Alchemist family (this one opened in July 2018), Chester's branch offers a periodic table of cocktails in decadent surrounds. Watch as themasters behind the bar throw together elaborate concoctions or try it out yourself at one of their regular masterclasses. Before you get too invested in the delightful drinks, be sure to line your stomach with the likes of katsu chicken or pan-fried duck."

"It's offering an all-day dining menu on Deliveroo and beer, wine and cocktails can also be ordered for delivery, arriving on a hip flask that can be kept and refilled."
