The result is this list: the UK's top new restaurants, which acknowledges fine dining spots and fish bars in the same breath, from chef's tables in Birmingham to restaurants with rooms in Norfolk. We've eaten at, loved, and awarded Greek, Thai, Mexican, Punjabi, French, Italian, Korean, and British restaurants—the diversity of the UK food landscape is, after all, the thing that makes it so exciting. These restaurants are places we recommend to you, hand-on-heart, as new openings to visit, support, and enjoy when you travel across the country this year. Happy eating.
