Yorkshire has plenty of great restaurants and it’s that time of year again where some of the best across the region including Leeds, Sheffield, Bradford and York get a shout out and a chance to win best restaurant at the British Restaurant Awards.
This year marks the 5th British Restaurant Awards and the nominations for the 2023 competition have been announced and there are some incredible restaurants in the running across the region.
There are so many food awards these days – and one of the benefits of them is they highlight so hidden gems as well as the top places to visit in each city and area in across the county. As Yorkshire has the most Michelin stars outside of London it’s no surprise there are a lot of nominations for Yorkshire.

Seeking to recognise and celebrate the incredible talent, innovation and artistry that defines the UK restaurant scene, there will be a glittering ceremony in London 5th September when the winners will be announced.
The public has until the 1st September to have their say on the winner – so make sure you vote for any favourites that you have.
A spokesperson said: “In a celebration that promises to be bigger, bolder, and more delicious than ever, the British Restaurant Awards has pulled back the curtain on an extraordinary line up of nominees across a delectable array of categories.
