Just over half of OpenTable’s 100 best restaurants in the UK 2016 are in London. Of the rest, five are in Manchester, more than any other city in the UK. Take that, Michelin.

‘These are the places that get it right every time,’ says OpenTable, ‘where each meal is memorable for the excellent food, ambience and service.’

The top 100 was determined by analysing more than 465,000 reviews from more than 5,600 restaurants across the UK – all submitted by verified diners.
