Top Best French Restaurants in Halton

"Hidden behind a curtain in a corner of the grand lobby of the Midland Hotel, there’s more than a feel of Alice in Wonderland as you are transported through mirrored doors into the dining room of The French. Soft grey and sage green tones give everything a muted luxurious feel and there are two huge cylindrical chandeliers which throw light back and forth via the mirrored panelling around the room. Chef Adam Reid’s cooking is inventive and playful but executed with real precision and flair."

"Located in the Northern Quarter, French restaurant 63 Degrees offers diners a taste of Paris with its name inspired by the cooking technique. With food cooked long and low at 63 degrees, it promises poultry like you’ve never tasted it before. Want to put that theory to the test?"

The French restaurant can be found in Liverpool’s Cavern Quarter near Mathew Street and serves up authentic French food in a bistro style. The menu changes weekly to make most of the seasonal produce available, so you can go as many times as you’d like and never tire of the menu."

"A failsafe and firm favorite with lovebirds is Malmaison, easily one of the most romantic hotels in Manchester. The hotel is steeped in history; it was formerly a 19th-century cotton warehouse and a Victorian dolls’ hospital later. Glittering silver walls, red velvet sofas, and white-and-black tile floors greet you as you enter."

"When the big city gets too big and the bright lights too blinding, we have the perfect solution. Find your sanctuary at Malmaison Manchester Spa. Whether you want to get glammed up and gorgeous for your big night out or melt away that tension after a hard week at work, this place is your perfect spa escape."

"Manchester’s legendary stand-up comedy club remains an ever-popular destination, and has hosted pretty much every big name in comedy over the past 19 years. TripAdvisor reviewers had high praise for the venue’s staff, drinks and hot food offering. Typical reviews include: “Food was good, staff friendly and comedy funny."

"The one you think of when someone says comedy in Manchester. Located on Deansgate Locks, this perfectly placed club offers some of the best stand up in town. Their auditorium set up makes it perfect for stand up."

"There’s a legend surrounding Lark Lane’s Maranto’s restaurant – rumour has it that this family-run restaurant was the first to bring American-style BBQ ribs to the shores of the Mersey in 1985. Owned by the Italian-American Maranto clan, this South Liverpool Trattoria has become a firm foodie favourite in the city since it introduced Scousers to the wonders of tender pork ribs. Serving classic pizzas, authentic pasta and risotto dishes and plenty of state-side burger options from their Grade-II listed Victorian building for over 35 years, it’s the perfect place to head for a hearty, home-cooked meal just like Mamma used to make."

"Owned by the Italian American Maranto’s family, this restaurant has been a favourite among Liverpudlians for years and remains a solid addition to the restaurant scene in the city. The Victorian building, playing host to a number of different occupants over the years, now serves up a mixture of Italian and international cuisines. Expect the likes of buffalo wings, risotto funghi and lamb Seville."

"Lark Lane’s family run Maranto’s Italain restaurant is a favourite on the quirky lane. Find everything from pasta, pizza, fish, steaks and risotto on the menu for that classic Italian meal out after enjoying everything Lark Lane has to offer. View this post on Instagram"
