 If you always like to scour for eateries off the beaten path, look no further, as Tripadvisor has just unveiled the UK's best 'secret spots' – as well as ones further afield. Every year, the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Awards unveil top spots covering various categories, including Fine Dining, Everyday Eats, Date Night and, perhaps the most intriguing, Hidden Gems. And it's come at just the right time, as according to new research, almost two thirds of global travellers (62%) are most excited about food when it comes to their next trip away – whether that's abroad or a staycation. So where do the 'hidden gems' lie in the UK? The top spot goes to Ganesha Authentic Indian Cuisine, a family-run restaurant in Bristol – followed by Osteria, an authentic Italian in Shrewsbury, in second position. But South Asian cuisine dominates this year's list, with Gurkha Bar and Restaurant Musselburgh in a number five, and London's The India – Best of the City in sixth place. Elsewhere, venues from all over England take up the other top 10 rankings –including restaurants in Dorset, Wiltshire, Bath and Derbyshire.
