Manchester’s dining scene has been lauded with nominations in this year’s British Restaurant Awards. And one restaurant in particular has bagged three nominations on its own.

Adam Reid at The French has been nominated for Best Manchester Restaurant, Best Luxury Restaurant and Restaurant of the Year.

The high end dining spot, situated in the Midland Hotel, has been overseen by the Stalybridge-born chef since 2016, and has already nailed an impressive four AA rosettes for its cooking.

But it’s not the only restaurant in town to have been recognised by the BRA nominations.

Others up for Best Manchester Restaurant are:

Dakota Grill
