Best Fine Dining in St Helens

"Another special spot in Spinningfields suitable for both celebrations or just a boujee Tuesday – The Ivy’s roof terrace is stunningly decorated, with plus velvet furniture, fire pits for warmth and grand trees throughout setting a botanical theme for its brasserie offering. Most of the space is for diners, however, there’s a lovely bar within the terrace, too, where you can perch up for a drink or two. The Ivy, The Pavilion, Byrom St, M3 3HG."

"What: Something of an all-rounder, this glamorous Manchester outpost of The Ivy offers menus that take diners through from breakfast till dinner, with brunch and afternoon tea inbetween.

While working on your tan, you can tuck Ivy signatures such as the shepherd’s pie and chicken milanese."

Apart from ground floor Ivy Brasserie and second floor Ivy Asia, the true gem is found at the very top, with the Ivy Roof Garden.

"After opening its doors back in 2014, The Art School was the first fine dining restaurant in the city. Brought to you by Paul Askew, Director Chef of the Hope Street Hotel and The London Carriage Works Restaurant, The Art School uses the finest produce and ingredients perfectly accompanied by a stunning wine list. This uber-elegant restaurant and bar is an absolute must for all ‘foodies’."

"The Art School Restaurant is housed in what used to be a ‘home for destitute children’ in the Victorian times.
