All The New Michelin-Starred Restaurants In The UK & Ireland

Every year, the brightest stars in the restaurant industry gather for the culinary ceremony of the year: the unveiling of the Michelin Guide. This year, the awards took place in Glasgow for the first time – and threw out some bold new choices. Here’s where to book for a special occasion in 2025…

Last night, Michelin announced which restaurants had made it into the Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland. Each year, Michelin’s team of anonymous restaurant inspectors award venues with one star (“high-quality cooking, worth a stop”), two stars (“excellent cooking, worth a detour”) or three stars (“exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey”). 

There was one of the latter this year, as Mark Birchall’s brilliant Lancashire hotspot Moor Hall won a full three stars at last night’s ceremony (you can read our full review here). There was a trio of exciting two-star announcements too. In London, brilliant Soho restaurant Humble Chicken upgraded to two stars and John Williams’s restaurant at The Ritz finally earned a very well-deserved second star. Over in Kent, Hide & Fox also took home two Michelin stars.

In total, 22 restaurants picked up their first star. London teams earning their first accolade include SheerLuxe’s best new restaurant of 2024, Oma in Borough Market; brilliant Asian restaurants AngloThai and Dosa; 64 Goodge Street, Mauro Colagreco at Raffles London at The OWO; Cornus; Lita; Emily Roux’s Caractère and Jason Atherton’s new place, Row On 5. Perhaps most notably, Plates became the UK’s first fully vegan restaurant to earn a star.

Across the rest of the UK and Ireland, Cardiff won its first Michelin star for Gorse; Manchester celebrated with a win for Tom Barnes and his new restaurant Skof; Bristol favourite Wilsons added a star to its list of accolades; SL favourite Lyla in Edinburgh gained a first star for Scottish chef Stuart Ralston; and Forge at Middleton Lodge, Yorkshire, won a Michelin star – which follows its Green star last year (read our full review here).

In 2021, the guide added a Green star to its roster, which recognises sustainable gastronomy and distinguishes restaurants taking responsibility in the conversation of resources and the protection of biodiversity. Five were announced this year: Homestead Kitchen in Goathland; Jericho in Plungar; Native in Tenbury Wells; Pythouse Kitchen Garden in Tisbury; and Wild Shropshire in Whitchurch.

This year, the Michelin Bib Gourmands were also unveiled at the ceremony. Named after Bibendum – the Michelin Man – the Bib Gourmand distinction “highlights restaurants offering good food at competitive prices”. This year, 36 new restaurants have made it into the 2025 Great Britain & Ireland selection, including Oma’s sister restaurant, Agora, in London; SL favourites Fish Shop in Ballater, Ardfern in Leith and Josephine in Chelsea; plus Margo in Glasgow and Briar in Bruton.
