It is that time of year again, the Michelin Guide has been released, showing you some of the best places to eat in the UK & Ireland. The star system rates from 1 to 3 stars, with 3 being the highest rating.
Still considered as the most important guide to eating out in the world, Michelin inspectors have spent the last twelve months dining in the places that captures everything wonderful about the world of food and drink.
There were sixteen new one-star restaurants this year, and Claude Bosi’s latest venture Bibendum went straight into the exclusive two Michelin-starred restaurants. There was also the rare announcement of a new three-star establishment – The Araki, which received two stars last year, now joins the four other restaurants in the UK to hold the coveted position.
Michelin-starred Dabbous closed and therefore lost a star. Other restaurants that have lost their Michelin stars this year are The Samling (Cumbria); Bath Priory (Somerset); Turners @ 69 (Birmingham); Lords of the Manor (Gloucestershire); Alimentum (Cambridge); Ocean at the Atlantic (Jersey); Sir Charles Napier (Buckinghamshire); The Wild Rabbit (Oxfordshire); The Treby Arms (Devon); 5 North St (Gloucestershire); Isle of Eriska (Scotland) and Kinloch Lodge (Isle of Skye).
