MICHELIN Guide Ceremony 6 minutes 09 February 2026

Every MICHELIN-Star Restaurant in Great Britain & Ireland 2026

Explore the full list of restaurants with One, Two or Three MICHELIN Stars in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland – plus the trends making waves in the dining scene of today.

On Monday 9th February, the new MICHELIN Stars were unveiled at the MICHELIN Guide Ceremony 2026, held at the Convention Centre in Dublin. Here, we bring you not just an up-to-date list of every restaurant in Great Britain & Ireland with a MICHELIN Star, but also a few insights on those that our Inspectors have newly awarded for 2026.

MICHELIN Stars in Extraordinary Locations

Amongst all our MICHELIN Stars, few have locations quite as eye-catching as The Pullman and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High – both new Stars for 2026. The former occupies two restored Orient Express train carriages, dripping in the grandeur and glamour of yesteryear. The latest Gordon Ramsay venture, meanwhile, is located on the 60th floor of a London skyscraper, offering superb views across the city from its chef’s counter. For something else a little different, consider FIFTY TWO, near Harrogate, which occupies a set of converted shipping containers.

Neighbourhood Restaurants with Star Quality

While some MICHELIN-Star restaurants might make headlines with their locations, there are many that prefer a more understated approach. This year’s awards included Stars for Forest Avenue in Dublin and Maré by Rafael Cagali in Hove, Brighton’s little sister. Both are restaurants in quieter, more suburban parts of their city and come with the welcoming, reassuring quality of a local neighbourhood restaurant. Forest Avenue serves produce-led dishes with straightforward skill, while Maré offers an inventive mix of global cuisines.

Rebirths and New Beginnings

Another trend among the 2026 Stars is restaurants that have been rejuvenated by beginning a new chapter. Both JÖRO, near Sheffield, and Ugly Butterfly by Adam Handling, on the Cornish coast, have relocated and refined their set-ups for ‘2.0’ versions that impressed the Inspectors with their superb ingredients and technically skilled cooking. More fresh challenges can be found among several of our London Stars, with established names including Matt Abé, Clare Smyth and Michael Caines having all earned more accolades for their cooking.

Long-Standing Restaurants Coming of Age

While some of our new Stars only opened in the last 12 months (Legado, The Kerfield Arms and Labombe by Trivet, to name a few), others have been part of the selection for years. The Boat, in Lichfield, and The Wilderness, in Birmingham, have both earned their first Star this year after around a decade in the selection. At both restaurants, the Inspectors were impressed by how the chefs had refined their flavours and brought an extra level of restraint to their dishes, allowing excellent ingredients to do the talking.

Destination Restaurants for a Remote Getaway

Among our MICHELIN Stars, there were already plenty of destination restaurants, those with a remote location and surrounded by natural beauty, where hours of travel are rewarded with brilliant cooking. The Glenturret Lalique, Homestead Cottage and Loch Bay spring to mind, and this year they have been joined by 1887, Killiecrankie House and Vraic. The first two are both situated in scenic rural Scotland, and have MICHELIN-approved bedrooms, while Vraic has helped put the Channel Island of Guernsey on the map with its stand-out produce and finely balanced dishes.
