New Michelin star restaurants in Britain 2025

There are 23 new Michelin Star winners across England, Scotland and Wales this year, and while London was the most awarded city, restaurants were crowned in every corner of Britain, from Cardiff to North Yorkshire. Of these, 19 have been awarded One Michelin Star, three are proud new owners of Two Michelin Stars, and there’s one new Three Michelin Star restaurant too. 

Moor Hall, Lancashire (three Michelin stars and green Michelin star) 

Oodles of character, five acres of blooming gardens and a three-Michelin starred restaurant is what’s on offer at Moor Hall. The menu boasts the finest seasonal and local produce, inspired by the Lancashire countryside. 

Humble Chicken, London (two Michelin stars)  

A modern Japanese izakaya, Humble Chicken offers a theatrical dining experience with its 16-course tasting menu, accompanied by a lively atmosphere and upbeat music. Combine your meal with an expertly curated sake list.  

The Ritz Restaurant, London (two Michelin stars)  

A name that needs no introduction, iconic London hotel restaurant The Ritz earned its second Michelin Star this year, thanks to its combination of luxury ingredients and French techniques, served in an unforgettably elegant dining room.  

Hide and Fox, Kent (two Michelin stars)  

A quaint neighbourhood eatery in what was once the village shop, Hide and Fox uses South East England’s finest produce to create its five or eight course dining menus. Expect excellent seafood and equally delectable vegetarian offerings.  

LYLA, Edinburgh (one Michelin star) 

The focus at LYLA is on sustainable seafood, with the finest produce caught from around the Scottish Isles. The chefs at this friendly restaurant will be happy to chat you through the eye-catching plates that make up their unique tasting menus.  

Avery, Edinburgh (one Michelin star)  

American chef Rodney Wages loved Edinburgh so much when he visited, that he decided to move his established San Francisco restaurant Avery into a Georgian townhouse in the Scottish capital, bringing its bold flavours with it.  

Gorse, Cardiff (one Michelin star)  

Cardiff’s first Michelin Star comes in the form of Gorse, a proudly Welsh fine-dining restaurant. Expect to see on the menus the likes of Welsh dairy cow tartare, Welsh truffle, seaweed and laver butter; dishes you’ll only find in this corner of Britain.  

Wilsons, Bristol (one Michelin star and green Michelin star) 

A charmingly local establishment, Wilsons is a small, independent, farm-to-table bistro, with most of its vegetables and herbs grown in its own garden. With sustainability at the forefront, its menu changes seasonally, dependent on what the garden produces.  

33 The Homend, Herefordshire (one Michelin star)  

Stepping into this cosy, Grade II listed building is like visiting an old friend, with lovingly cooked, comforting dishes making up its concise menu. 33 The Homend only seats 14 guests, so you’ll feel part of an exclusive club at this tiny restaurant.  

Starling, Surrey (one Michelin star)  

Simplicity is key at Starling, a relaxed, neighbourhood eatery that champions British produce. One of the more affordable spots on this year’s list, their menu displays a distinctly British flair, from crumbed Cotswold chicken to truffle cheese crumpets.  

Mark Poynton at Caistor Hall, Norfolk (one Michelin star) 

In the gorgeous setting of the Caistor Hall Hotel and its surrounding gardens, indulge in an eight-course taster menu flavoured by seasonal local produce. Inspired by French classics, but unmistakably British at heart.

Forge, North Yorkshire (one Michelin star)  

Part of the picturesque Middleton Lodge Georgian estate, Forge is a sustainable restaurant that offers a ‘taste of the Yorkshire landscape as it transitions through the seasons’. Sample home-grown fruit, vegetables and honey for a true countryside escape.  

OMA, London (one Michelin star) 

Britain’s first Greek restaurant to be awarded a Michelin Star, OMA sits on the edge of Borough Market, one of London’s premier foodie hotspots. Sharing is caring is here, so bring friends to sample as much of the Mediterranean menu as possible!  

AngloThai, London (one Michelin star)  

An imaginative fusion restaurant, AngloThai delicately balances British ingredients with Thai flavours. Each dish is as beautiful as the restaurant itself, with wooden furniture sourced from Thailand’s northern city of Chiang Mai.  

DOSA, London (one Michelin star)  

In the basement of the world-famous Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, guests at DOSA are seated around a marble counter to embark on a Korean culinary journey. Serving only 14 guests per day, it’s an exclusive and unforgettable dining experience.  

Plates, London (one Michelin star)  

Plates makes history as the first fully plant-based restaurant in Britain to be awarded a Michelin Star. Vegetables are the star of the show here, from the black truffle and artichoke risotto to the mung bean lasagne that form parts of the innovative tasting menu.  

64 Goodge Street, London (one Michelin star)  

An intimate, modern bistro, 64 Goodge Street takes its inspiration from French cuisine. The open kitchen creates a lively atmosphere, and the classical menu pairs with an outstanding wine list, as you might expect.  

Mauro Colagreco at Raffles London at The OWO, London (one Michelin star) 

While meat and seafood are served in Mauro Colagreco’s impressive dining room, it’s the veggie elements which are most remarkable, with a menu featuring more than 70 British fruits and vegetables. Delicately plated, each plant-filled dish resembles a work of art.  

Cornus, London (one Michelin star)  

Showcasing the best seafood from the southwest coast, amid a seasonal, hearty menu that’s complimented by desserts created by one of Britain’s top young pastry chefs. Cornus puts hospitality at the forefront, for a truly relaxing dining experience.  

Caractère, London (one Michelin star)  

Caractère has transformed a former pub into a fine-dining restaurant in picture-perfect Notting Hill. Get creative with the chance to build your own five-course tasting menu from each of their ‘character profiles’.  

Lita, London (one Michelin star)  

Bringing the flavours of southern Europe to London’s West End, Lita is a modern Mediterranean restaurant that uses open fire cooking methods. Expect bold flavours, big dishes meant for sharing and an excellent wine list.
