The North West dominated this year’s guide
The Harden’s Best UK Restaurants 2025 guide has listed 19 Liverpool venue’s in this year’s book. The guide is created by curating diners feedback from an annual national poll to determine which spots are a hit with both public and expert opinion alike.
North West restaurants have had a particularly strong showing in this year’s ratings. Cumbria is named as the county with the most Top 100 listings outside of London.
Manchester is the English city with the most entries in the Harden’s Best UK Restaurants 2025 guide as a whole with 47 making the grade. Liverpool follows not far behind in the rankings with 19.

Commenting on the North West’s performance in this year’s guide and Top 100 list, Peter Harden, co-founder of Harden’s, said: “The Lake District is not short of good places to eat and as a result Cumbria is a culinary county to be reckoned with and many of our diners find their personal favourite dining destination of the year within its well-stocked borders. Manchester has also shown a real breadth of quality restaurants with a huge number making it into the guide; no mean feat in itself.
“Manchester’s 47 with Liverpool’s 19 means that the North West is one of the main contributing regions to the nation’s finest eating establishments. Whichever way you slice it, the North West is packed with exceptional dining experiences that leaves foodies spoiled for choice.”
