The Guide has been published by the French tyre company Michelin since 1900 and awards up to three Michelin stars for excellence to a select few establishments.
The acquisition or loss of a star or stars can have dramatic effects on the success of a restaurant – but for most of us, personal experience and recommendations from family and friends are our best guides to our favourite eateries, and what makes us want to return time and again.
Here, in no particular order, we take a look at some favourite Blackpool restaurants, unlikely to feature in the Michelin Guide, but winners with many of us nonetheless.
