Top Best French Restaurants in Whiston

"Set in the iconic Midland Hotel, the cosy booths, stylish décor and relaxed atmosphere of The French by Simon Rogan makes for an opulent date night. Worthy of any special occasion, quality food is at the heart of this operation with meticulously crafted tasting menus. The French’s absent Michelin star is well documented, but the infamous missing star isn’t all bad - diners can experience Michelin standard food without the waiting lists and price tag."

"Regularly lauded as a potential Michelin star winner, The French is a destination restaurant for all. Adam’s Great British Menu-winning dessert Golden Empire is a must-try, alongside four, six or nine course tasting menus. A treat for any fine dining enthusiasts, The French showcases everything that is great about northern produce and cooking."

"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."

"Owned by Marc Wilkinson, Fraiche uses modern cooking techniques to create light, contemporary French cuisine. Based in Oxton, this restaurant was recently named number one in the UK by The Sunday Times. The successful eatery only serves about10 diners per evening and books up months in advance."

"Merseyside’s fine-dining star, the tiny Fraiche restaurant is home to an artist behind the pass. Having been rated as a ‘rising star’ by the Michelin guide in 2006 and 2007, the restaurant finally secured the real thing in 2009 and Francophile Marc Wilkinson has since upheld it with ease."

"Located in the village of Oxton, the discreet and understated façade of Fraiche leads you into an intimate, modern space created with a theme of natural elements inspired by the shoreline. With an ever evolving menu, Michelin restaurant Fraiche is consistently fantastic."

"Keep an eye out for this one - if you blink you might miss it. The French restaurant can be found in Liverpool’s Cavern Quarter near Mathew Street and serves up authentic French food in a bistro style. The menu changes weekly to make most of the seasonal produce available, so you can go as many times as you’d like and never tire of the menu."

"Coucou Canard has also made the move from Grand Central Food Bazaar. The restaurant already has a reputation for tasty breakfasts and is looking to continue on its mission to focus on simple foods. The new restaurant is French-inspired, utilising simple recipes and using seasonal and locally sourced produce."

"Another one that you'll have to exercise patience for is the RNCM (Royal Northern College of Music), which is - understandably - prioritising the return of students and tutors. You can see the latest updates at www.rncm.ac.uk."

"The Royal Northern College of Music is an internationally acclaimed conservatoire, as well as an eclectic performance venue delivering a diverse programme of music and opera performances."
