The recent list of Michelin Starred restaurants has acknowledged the excellence in cooking and service across the country, although one area was conspicuous by its absence.
The Black Country and Staffordshire has a fine range of places offering quality food with excellent service and still have a keen and devoted following in their communities.
We asked our readers to tell us which restaurants they felt deserved that Michelin Star recognition and can reveal seven Black Country restaurants - and one in Bridgnorth - which they felt were worthy of that honour across the region.
5 Bridgnorth Road, Wolverhampton, WV6 8AB
Fiume has been a part of Compton life since it was opened in 2013 by owners Stefano and Carla Scaringi, offering quality and modern interpretations of classic Italian dishes from Sardinia and Basilicata.
The restaurant is a prime place for lovers of pasta, with a wide range of dishes all made with authentic ingredients, as well as a fine selection of fish and beef dishes.
It is also set alongside the Smestow Brook and Staffordshire and Worcestershire Canal, so diners are able to sit outside during nicer weather and watch the canal boats go by.
2 Cheapside, Wolverhampton, WV1 1TU
The Bilash in Wolverhampton city centre has, since 1980, endeavoured to provide quality Bangladeshi/Indian cuisine, something it has done very well.
It has been given a Michelin rating, the AA Rosette award for culinary excellence and the top 10 ranking for restaurants in the Midlands from the Sunday Times, all of which are acknowledged on the restaurant's website.
