The British public has spoken


From Michelin stars to AA rosettes, the restaurant industry is overflowing with award ratings, usually determined by industry figures or critics. But equally important is what regular diners think. Enter OpenTable’s Top 100 Restaurants list, which highlights the UK’s top eateries, as determined by its users. So which hotspots have made the 2024 list?

OpenTable’s Top 100 UK Restaurants: 2024 List Revealed

Eateries from all over the country are highlighted in OpenTable’s Top 100 Restaurants list, from London to Glasgow and Manchester. The restaurant booking platform has analysed reviews from diners to determine the winners, rewarding the most highly rated. 

The result is a real mix of restaurants – from fine dining establishments to gastropubs and relaxed fish and chip shops. London has a particularly strong showing, with stalwarts like The Ledbury in Notting Hill and Andrew Edmunds in Soho making the list, alongside newbies like Cornus in Victoria and pioneering zero-waste restaurant Silo.

Manchester names featured include Erst, the esteemed natural wine bar and small plates restaurant, alongside the TikTok-famous Onda Pasta Bar.

In Belfast, Saga Kitchen & Cellar was the only venue to make the list, while Glasgow winners included steak restaurant Butchershop and Number 16 Restaurant on Byres Road. 

Laure Bornet, Vice President of International Growth at OpenTable said: ‘Our Top 100 Restaurant list highlights a breadth of diner favourites in the UK – from neighbourhood gems like Ciullõsteria in London to award-winning spots like Opheem in Birmingham.

‘Whether Brits are looking for a spontaneous midweek meal or festive feast, we hope diners use the list as a source of inspiration for local spots and their UK travels, this year and next.’
