Last year, the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland recommended 1,143 restaurants, of which 206 were Michelin starred, 29 were awarded a Michelin Green Star, and 116 were highlighted with a Bib Gourmand.

Ahead of the ceremony, 20 new Bib Gourmands have been announced in the UK and Ireland. Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the prestigious publication said: “It is a joy to see 20 restaurants newly awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in the 2024 edition of The Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland. These are establishments that deserve recognition for their continued commitment to offering affordable, delicious cooking. The generosity and value for money they offer is wonderful to see during these challenging economic times.”

Restaurants that received a new one Michelin Star distinction last year include Grace & Savour in Birmingham, Taku in London, Timberyard in Edinburgh and Acleaf in Plymouth. Eight restaurants in the UK currently hold a three Michelin Star rating.

Michelin Stars

The Michelin Guide restaurant reviews are summaries of the inspectors' experiences and use a system of symbols, the most revered of which are its Stars. Restaurants may receive one to three Michelin Stars for the quality of their food based on five criteria: quality of the ingredients used, mastery of flavor and cooking techniques, the personality of the chef in the cuisine, harmony of flavors, and consistency between visits. Restaurant inspectors do not look at the interior decor, table setting, or service quality when awarding stars.

Bib Gourmand 

The Bib Gourmand - named after Bibendum, the Michelin Man and the official company mascot for the Michelin Group - is a rating that recognises friendly establishments that serve good food at moderate prices.

As Michelin Guide inspectors travel and taste their way through fine dining establishments around the globe, they are also on the constant lookout for restaurants that offer high-quality food at pocket-friendly prices. These accumulated observations resulted in the creation of a separate rating category to recognise such restaurants.
