This is no small feat, especially since maintaining a Michelin star is tough. Pine has done it year after year, proving its worth. Alongside Pine, Hjem and Solstice also made the list, showcasing the region’s culinary talent.
Rebel, a newer addition, has also joined the ranks. It opened in 2022 and has quickly gained recognition. SquareMeal, a well-known venue guide, released this list, highlighting the best dining spots across the UK.
Pine was praised for its unique atmosphere and exceptional food. The restaurant, run by Cal and Siân Byerley, was described as a “truly transcendent destination.”
Rebel, on the other hand, impressed with its innovative menus and great value. Hjem and Solstice also received accolades for their unique dining experiences.
SquareMeal’s list is based on reader votes and expert opinions, ensuring a diverse representation of the UK’s dining scene. The editor noted the challenges restaurants faced this year but praised their resilience.
This list is a celebration of culinary excellence, showcasing both established favorites and rising stars. It’s exciting to see the North East getting the recognition it deserves in the food world.
