The Good Food Guide’s 'Exceptional' restaurants in Britain
Published 06 February 2023
The Good Food Guide team is continuing to visit restaurants across Britain and there is always huge excitement when an inspector sends in a glowing report detailing somewhere extraordinary. These restaurants, rated 'Exceptional' in the Guide, are noted not just for their remarkable food and service, but for a telling uniqueness to the whole experience. To achieve such a high rating is no easy task. This list, ever-growing, is one to savour. These restaurants sit just below our 'World Class' entries: L'Enclume; Ynyshir; and Moor Hall.
