If you're after the lowdown on the restaurants in the 2024 Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland, look no further – here, we've included every restaurant which has made it into the hallowed red book. The 2024 guide was unveiled at Manchester's famous Midland Hotel, with the results broadcast online at the same time.
In total, this year's guide (the fiftieth in Great Britain and Ireland) gave thirty-one restaurants new ratings, including eighteen new one-star restaurants and six new two-star restaurants (Gymkhana, Brooklands, Terre, The Glenturret Lalique Restaurant, Trivet and Opheem). And in particularly exciting news, a new three-star restaurant was announced;Brett Graham's The Ledbury in London. It came only twelve months after the restaurant earned back its two stars in the 2023 guide, having lost them after a Covid-related closure from 2020 to 2022 made it ineligible for Michelin inspection.
When it came to sustainability, there was plenty to celebrate with the addition of six new Green Stars – Annwn Restaurant in Pembrokeshire, The Exmoor Forest Inn in Minehead, The Forge in Middleton Tyas, Restaurant St Barts in London, Restaurant Interlude in Horsham and The Whitebrook in Monmouth.
Some restaurants lost their stars, though many were due to closure or relocation, including Michel Roux's two-Michelin-starred Le Gavroche, which shut its doors in January after fifty-six years, The Clock House, The Raby Hunt, Marcus Wareing at The Berkeley, Eipic, Pensons, SY23, Ichigo Ichie, The Man Behind The Curtain, Aimsir, The Cellar, Restaurant Fraiche and Carters of Moseley, which is currently moving site. Elsewhere, both Hakkasan Mayfair and Hakkasan Hanway Place lost their stars, along with salt by Paul Foster, Barrafina Dean Street, Leroy and Paco Tapas.
A handful of Special Awards were handed out throughout the ceremony, including the Mentor Chef Award, which was presented to Michel, and the Michelin Young Chef Award, which was given to Jake Jones of Forge in Middleton Tyas. Robbie Ashby at Stage in Exeter took home the Service Award, while Valentin Mouillard at L'Enclume scooped the Sommelier Award. The Exceptional co*cktails Award was presented to Ryan McHarg at The Spence in Edinburgh.
The new one-star restaurants for 2024 were: Mýse, Mountain, 1890 by Gordon Ramsay, Cedar Tree, Pavyllon, The Bishop's Buttery, Dorian, Humo, Crocadon, Homestead Cottage, Akoko, Lake Road Kitchen, Sushi Kanesaka, Humble Chicken, D'Olier Street, Ormer Mayfair, Aulis and Chishuru.
Twenty new restaurants had already been awarded a Bib Gourmand in the guide earlier in January, taking the total number to 127. When it comes to stars, you can see the full list of Michelin star UK restaurants for 2024 below.
