Several eateries in Manchester have been shortlisted for the British Restaurant Awards 2022, putting them in the running to be named some of the best in the country.
Some of the UK's best restaurants have been named on the shortlist for the fourth annual iteration of the awards, set to take place later this year, with some top dining experiences in the region in the running. The awards, sometimes referred to as the BRA, take nominations from readers of several magazines and members of the World Restaurant Awards Guide for the first quarter of the year, before picking a shortlist from the most nominated eateries.
Then, members of the public are able to vote for their favourite restaurants, with the winners being announced at a glitzy red carpet awards show and annual gala in London. This year, the region's restaurants appear in several categories, including one dedicated to naming the best restaurant in Manchester.

Peter Street Kitchen, a site popular with footballers for its contemporary Japanese and Mexican small plates, signature cocktails and fine wines, is up for Best Luxury Restaurant, Best Culinary Experience, and the region's best restaurant. In the two national categories, it's facing up against some tough competition, including The Ritz, Restaurant Gordon Ramsey, and Akira at Japan House.
One Plus Restaurant, which describes itself as an "authentic and unique" Chinese restaurant on Charles Street, is up for Best Takeaway Restaurant, battling against the likes of Blackpool's Armenian Kebab House, York's Boungiorno, and London's L'oro di Napoli, among others.
The awards will also feature categories for the best restaurant chain, pitting the likes of Gourmet Burger Kitchen, German Doner Kebab, Wingstop, Vapianos and Honest Burgers, which all have branches across Greater Manchester, against Sukho Thai, Chotto Matte, and Tapas Brindisa. Another category for the best food ordering company will see big names Deliveroo, Just Eat, and UberEats face brands Zomato, Food Hub, Gousto, and Go Puff for the crown.
All of the restaurants up for the Best Restaurant Manchester category are within Manchester itself, with no eateries, outside the chains, from the other nine boroughs in Greater Manchester making it onto the shortlist.
The category features:
- Mi & Pho, Wythenshawe
