Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2023 unveiled

On 27 March, Michelin presented the 2023 restaurant selection of the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland at the Silverstone Circuit in Northamptonshire. It named 20 restaurants that are newly awarded One Michelin Star; two restaurants that receive Two Michelin Stars and four restaurants that receive a Michelin Green Star.

In total, the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland 2023 recommends 1,143 restaurants, of which 206 are Michelin-Starred, 29 have been awarded a Michelin Green Star, and 116 are highlighted with a Bib Gourmand.

“Great Britain & Ireland continues to impress with the sheer variety of its Michelin Stars,” comments Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the Michelin Guides. “Whether diners are looking for somewhere formal or casual, historic or new, there is a Michelin Starred establishment for them. In every region of Great Britain and Ireland, you can now find hugely talented chefs calling out to gourmets with their exquisite and accomplished cuisine.

“To have 20 new One Michelin Stars and three new Two Stars in a year where the hospitality industry has faced so many challenges, is an extraordinary achievement,” Poullennec adds. “The addition of four new Michelin Green Stars to the selection is also a clear illustration of the growing desire within the restaurant industry for more sustainable gastronomy.”

From Devon to Edinburgh, Surrey to Cumbria, the 20 new Michelin Stars can be found all over Great Britain & Ireland. Cumbria is the county boasting the greatest number of new Stars, with three, while Devon has two. When it comes to cities, London leads the way with four new One Stars and two new Two Stars. The establishments themselves are also varied: there are inns, Victorian and Edwardian houses, country manors and contemporary city centre restaurants. The cuisines are varied too, with Japanese, Italian, Turkish and globally influenced cuisine sitting alongside contemporary British cooking.
