The winners of the Good Food Awards have been announced for 2023/24 and several Greater Manchester restaurants have been recognised across the different categories.
The annual awards, which are free to enter, aim to recognise and promote local, independent businesses that offer excellent quality food. Winners are decided via reader votes online.
Starting out as an award for restaurants and fine dining in 2002, the organisation has expanded to include several categories, including cafes, fish and chips, takeaways and gastro pubs. They also have separate awards for the hotel industry.
Greater Manchester awards feature in all categories apart from gastro pubs. Here are all the local restaurants featured.
