An independent restaurant in Prestwich has earned itself a place in the prestigious Michelin Guide.
Osma, which opened one year ago on Bury New Road, was praised for its 'fresh and tasty' food and 'smart, modern' restaurant space.
The Michelin Guide is made up of restaurants that come highly recommended by inspectors, who also dish out Michelin stars and Michelin Bib Gourmands once a year.

Osma is one of 10 restaurants that have been highlighted this month, a list that 'truly represents the great variety and choice available to those who love eating out'.
The intimate venue was opened by Michelin-trained Danielle Heron in September 2020, transforming an old kitchen showroom into a Scandi-chic restaurant.
The Whitefield-born chef was just 28 years old at the time, but has a CV that includes stints at two Michelin-starred L'enclume in the Lake District and three Michelin-starred Maaemo in Oslo.
The name Osma is a portmanteau of Danielle's hometown of Manchester and her co-owner Sofie Stoermann-Naess's native Oslo.
Michelin inspectors said: "It’s in the city’s northern suburbs and is a smart, modern place, laid out in an L-shape, with an open kitchen, a communal island table and smart curved banquettes.
"A concise breakfast menu is followed by salads and open sandwiches, while in the evening it’s all about tempting, well-priced small plates.
"Cooking is fresh and tasty with a modern British style; around 4 plates per person makes a great meal to share."
The team at Osma posted on social media today: "We feel very honoured and proud to have received this acknowledgment. To our team - THANK YOU!!
"It has been quite a challenging first year, but you have all stuck with us through Tier 1,2 and 3 and 4.
"We couldn’t have done it without any of you. One team, one dream"
