Alderley Edge Hotel came away with two awards from this week's annual "Life Food Awards".
The Brasserie won the "Best Cheshire Restaurant" title and head chef Chris Holland was named "North West Chef of the Year" at a black tie dinner held at Manchester's Midland Hotel.
Judges were impressed by the Brasserie's "masterpiece of conception and design" and said that "the combination of traditional French brasserie style with a menu of classic retro dishes featuring high quality ingredients served with a modern twist, makes dining here a rewarding and fun experience."
Chris Holland's award comes after years of building the Alderley Restaurant to the three AA rosette standard that it achieved in 2010 and launching the new Brasserie's retro menu, as an alternative food option, earlier this year.
Mr Ahmet Kurcer, the hotel's General Manager, said "To win a 'double' was wonderful and a number of people share a great deal of thanks for making it happen.
"It's an accolade for the Brasserie, which shares the same kitchen that raised fine dining at the Alderley Restaurant into the country's top 10 per cent, alongside famous London restaurants like Marco Pierre White's 'L'Escargot', Michel Roux's 'Le Gavroche', and 'Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's'. And it's a crowning achievement for Chris who has driven the standards to this level."
