Good news, foodies: TripAdvisor has just revealed its top-rated restaurants to dine at across the globe, and loads of them are in the UK.
And the best of the bunch? That would be the Michelin-starred Old Stamp House in Ambleside, which was named the best fine-dining restaurant not only in the UK and Europe, but the entire world.
The Lake District restaurant clinched the top spot globally for the second consecutive year, with highest average scores on the travel reviews site. And to be fair, it does look pretty damn nice. A typical tasting menu includes things like grey squirrel with coriander and piccalilli, and English Channel turbot with potted shrimps and samphire.
