Here at SquareMeal, our critics are out and about almost every evening of every week visiting the latest and greatest restaurants. Reviews are something we take very seriously, and a SquareMeal Gold Award is our highest honour - reserved for the special few that deliver an experience close to perfection.
The Gold awards are given to only a few establishments and are an assessment of the full experience: food – first and foremost – combined with ambience, service and value. When we visit a restaurant, we’re looking for places that have the whole package - restaurants that don’t just deliver on the plate, but also make you feel special, and live long in the memory. As a result, when you find a restaurant on our website and see that gold medal, you know that someone from the SquareMeal team has visited and had a compelling experience
Scroll down and you’ll find every restaurant across the UK that we’ve awarded with a SquareMeal Gold Award - everything from country boltholes to restaurants with rooms, and the best of the best restaurants in the capital.
You’ll also see plenty of overlap between this list, and our annual restaurant award lists: the Top 100 London Restaurants, and the Top 100 UK Restaurants. If you’re interested in reading more about the very best restaurants across the country, those lists are the best place to start.
