The AA has announced the latest restaurants to be awarded the coveted three and four rosettes. These higher rosette awards are only made twice a year, in January and September, and recognise those restaurants that have shown great improvement in the culinary standards and service they are providing.
Fourteen restaurants will be celebrating the new awards, ranging from Glasgow to the Channel Isles. While London sees five restaurants awarded multi rosettes, the North of England is well represented with four restaurants gaining a higher level of rosettes.
Among the top restaurants in the country
Simon Numphud, Head of AA Hotel Services, said, ‘The restaurants receiving the multi rosette awards should be duly proud of their achievements. The four rosettes restaurants can now classify themselves as among the top restaurants in the country where cooking demands national recognition. Those with three rosettes are outstanding restaurants that demand recognition well beyond their local area, offering sympathetic treatment of the highest quality ingredients with consistent timing, seasoning and judgement of flavour. Around just ten percent of the restaurants in our guide have three rosettes.’
