Sticky Walnut
The first restaurant of celebrated chef Gary Usher, in the Hoole district near the train station, with a neighbourhood bistro feel and truffle Parmesan chips as its signature.
Sticky Walnut opened in 2011 and was the starting point of chef Gary Usher's Elite Bistros group. It is at 11 Charles Street in the Hoole district, about a 10-minute walk from Chester station. The two-level space has dark walls, cheerful prints and an open kitchen. The Good Food Guide rates it “Good”, and TripAdvisor gives it 4.6. Signature dishes include truffle Parmesan chips and roasted beetroot salad with whey cheese and sticky walnuts. Starters cost about £10–14 and mains £25–38. There is a £23 early-bird menu with three courses on weekday lunchtimes and before 18:30. The wine list is excellent, so book ahead.
