The votes are in and several Manchester spots have been shortlisted for the UberEats Restaurant of the Year Awards 2023.

The shortlist has been compiled by Uber Eats user votes and reviews, and includes 10 regional lists. Of the ten North West restaurants shortlisted, four are located in Manchester. There are around 33 different types of cuisines from around the world represented across the full UK and Ireland list.

The national finalists for each region will each win £200,000.

The overall winner will also receive an additional £100,000 to invest into their businesses.

Uber Eats users now have until 19 August to vote online for their favourite shortlisted restaurants. The winners will be announced in September.

What have the judges said?

Monica Galetti, chef and television presenter, said: “Over many years working in professional kitchens such as Mere and Le Gavroche I’ve witnessed first-hand the levels of hard work, dedication and passion that go into running a restaurant business. I’m excited to be part of the Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Awards 2023 and to see what these independent restaurants bring to the table, and to meet some of the great minds behind the UK’s favourite meals.”

Dame Prue Leith, cook, restaurateur, TV presenter and author, said: “I’m delighted to work with Uber Eats to crown their Restaurant of the Year again this year. Last year, we got to see all the hard work and effort these businesses go to for their customers and spotlight some extraordinary people, stories and restaurants. This year, I’m once again looking forward to discovering the next big thing in the restaurant industry, and of course to eating some amazing food.”
