A Manchester restaurant that has only been open a matter of months has shot into a prestigious list of the very best restaurants in the UK. Higher Ground has placed at 51 in the National Restaurant Awards Top 100 announced last night.
Higher Ground only opened in February on New York Street in the city centre, but has already been winning wide acclaim from diners and critics. Now, an industry panel of chefs and food experts have ranked it among the very best in the UK in the annual list sponsored by Estrella Damm.
The venue is hailed for its "Impeccable sourcing and creative cooking". The listing says that together with its "low intervention wines" it makes for a "modern and thoughtful Manchester bistro."

It is an incredible achievement for the restaurant to make it into the list so soon after opening. It has placed higher in the top 100 than many Michelin Star pedigree restaurants and is the highest rated for Greater Manchester this year.
Higher Ground, described as a "British bistro and bar" was launched by the team behind the acclaimed Flawd at New Islington Marina. It has been brought to life by three friends who have worked at some of the best restaurants across the world, front-of-house man Richard Cossins, chef Joe Otway and wine expert Daniel Craig-Martin.
The only other venue in the city that makes the top 100 is the Michelin Star restaurant Mana, in Ancoats. It has risen up the rankings from 78 last year to now be placed at 71.
The best restaurant in the country according to the list is once again Welsh restaurant Ynyshir in Powys. Lancashire's acclaimed Moor Hall, which holds two Michelin Stars for chef Mark Birchall, is again rated second in the top 100
