1. Shifnal Balti restaurant in Shifnal 20/22 Broadway - TF11

A stalwart of this market town after almost 30 years, Faz Ali’s curryhouse has earned a reputation beyond the West Midlands, winning accolades at the national Asian Restaurant and Takeaway Awards.

2. CSONS British, Modern restaurant in Shrewsbury 8 Milk Street - SY1

“Very enjoyable small or large plates and interesting sides” of “locally sourced, globally inspired’ fare (and quite an extensive drinks list too, with local beers and ciders)” help win ongoing support for this local favourite, which is particularly recommended for breakfast/brunch. It is run by the four Crouch brothers (the sons of ‘C’, for which the business is named); and also has a sibling in Ludlow.

3. Bilash Indian restaurant in Wolverhampton 2 Cheapside - WV1

“Can’t beat it” – there are “lots of Indian restaurants to choose from” in these parts “but make sure you book this one”: Bangladesh-born chef Sitab Khan’s veteran destination (est. 1982), where “unusual dishes are all prepared to a great standard” and “your tastebuds will not be disappointed”.

4. Number Four French restaurant in Shrewsbury 4 Butcher Row - SY1

This appealing indie café/restaurant, in a quiet side street, has a modish industrial-style interior, while the open kitchen turns out seasonal eats spanning small plates, steaks and lots of snackable ‘things on toast’.

5. The Haughmond British, Modern restaurant in Upton Magna

“In the centre of the gorgeous village of Upton Magna”, Martin Board & wife Mel’s “lovely country pub-with-rooms” won nothing but praise this year; despite the seventeenth-century setting, the “food is far from traditional and leans towards modern British – all absolutely delicious and expertly served” (with “particularly good fish dishes” a highlight); add in “sensible prices”, and it’s a “standout restaurant in Shropshire”.

6. Rhubarb British, Modern restaurant in Shrewsbury Town Centre 10 Saint Mary’s Place - SY1

2023 Review: “An excellent addition to the town” – this year-old bistro occupies a “quirky and enchanting” sixteenth-century merchant’s house (the old Drapers Guild Hall) that “is worth a visit in its own right” and was “once a setting for the TV film adaption of Charles Dickens’ Christmas Carol”. “The food is very good indeed, based on local ingredients and the menu changes regularly.” “Wine is from the long-established local wine merchants Tanners.”

7. The Walrus British, Modern restaurant in Shrewsbury 2 Lower Claremont Bank - SY1

Local lad Ben Hall worked at the acclaimed Gidleigh Park, among others, before teaming up with partner Carla Cook to launch this ambitious five-year-old; in November 2022, they upped sticks from their former premises in Roushill to a larger, ex-warehouse setting on Claremont Bank in the city centre. The “really excellent food” (tasting menu only on Fri/Sat nights) remains intact at what is, for fans, “the best restaurant in Shrewsbury”.
