ON Tuesday 7th December OpenTable, one of the world’s leading online restaurant reservation platforms, announced its most highly rated restaurant of 2021.

Blackpool’s own Michael Wan’s Mandarin & Michael Wan’s Wok Inn were both named in the top 100 restaurants in the UK 2021 by OpenTable diners (#OpenTable100).

The list is based on more than 960,000 verified reviews submitted in the last year by OpenTable diners at restaurants across the UK.

OpenTable is one of the largest global restaurant reservation platforms, now hosting over 10,000 restaurant in the UK, including 400+ venues in Lancashire.  The Mandarin and Wok Inn were the only two restaurants listed from Lancashire, proudly helping boost representation from the North West – who managed just 14 of the top 100 spots – the majority being kept in London.

“It’s been a tough 12 months for the hospitality industry, having to introduce new safety measures whilst also dealing with shortages in supplies and staff” said owner Pauline Lai  “It’s a real credit to the teams we have at our restaurants that they have managed to not just cope but excel at their work!  Being featured in OpenTable’s Top 100 list shows that our team’s efforts are really recognised and appreciated by our customers.

“All we ever want is to provide the best food and service we can to make our customers happy, if we can do that successfully then we’re happy too!”
