The La Liste 2022 event took place on Monday, November 29 and one Merseyside restaurant made the final cut.

Fraiche in Wirral was included alongside 53 other restaurants in the UK.
Established in 2015, La Liste ranks restaurants based on the compilation of entries from hundreds of guidebooks, thousands of media publications, and millions of online reviews from more than 200 countries.
Reviews from each guide are given a standardised score out of 100 and weighted according to how trustworthy they are perceived to be by a panel of chefs.
This year’s top restaurant in the world was Guy Savoy in Paris with a score of 99.5 and Core by Clare Smyth was the highest rated restaurant in the UK with a score of 98.0.
Fraiche, which is Merseyside’s only Michelin star restaurant, scored 82.0.
Moor Hall, in Ormskirk, was also named among the best in the country with a score of 92.0.
Fraiche was based in Oxton for 15 years before closing in December 2018 with plans to move over the water to Liverpool.
The restaurant reopened in early 2019 in Oxton after owner Marc Wilkinson told the ECHO : "I think, maybe, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. I have always done small, that was one of the reasons to go to a bigger place.
“But, of course, a bigger place means bigger overheads and bigger stress – so maybe it wasn’t meant to be."
