Today #michelin is pleased to unveil the new selection of the #michelin guide Great Britain & #ireland, which selects a total of 2067 restaurants and 1155 hotels and guesthouses.

 This year, the restaurant The Araki has been awarded three #michelin Stars. “With its nine-seater counter, The Araki has gone from strength to strength. When Mitsuhiro Araki moved to #london from Tokyo in 2014 he set himself the challenge of using largely European fish and his sushi is now simply sublime” comments Michael Ellis, International Director in charge of the #michelin guides. It joins a select group of restaurants with three #michelin Stars: The Fat Duck and The Waterside Inn in Bray, Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester and Restaurant Gordon Ramsay which has retained the award under its new chef, Matt Abé.
In this new selection, Claude Bosi at Bibendum , located in the famous #michelin House in #london, gains two #michelin Stars. Claude’s sophisticated French cuisine is a perfect fit and has been one of the openings of the year. In total, the #michelin guide Great Britain & #ireland 2018 features 20 restaurants awarded two #michelin Stars. 


One hundred and fifty restaurants have one #michelin Star this year, including 17 new ones. In #ireland, there is now a MICHELIN-starred pub: The Wild Honey Inn located in Lisdoonvarna. In Scotland, Michael Smith earns a #michelin Star for his restaurant Loch Bay , a converted crofter’s house on the Isle of Skye. Also awarded one #michelin Star, Peter Sanchez-Iglesias’ Paco Tapas – this tapas bar is named after his father and is further evidence of Bristol’s exciting dining scene and Tom Kerridge’s pub, The Coach in Marlow. Two much more formal establishments also gain a #michelin Star: Matt Worswick at The Latymer in Surrey, and Coworth Park in Ascot. Mark Birchall has put his experience from L’Enclume to good use at Moor Hall, , gains a #michelin Star, as does Michael Caines’ Lympstone Manor in Devon. Meanwhile talented young chef Niall Keating has begun to make his mark with a #michelin Star at Whatley Manor in Wiltshire.   
In #london, A.Wong receives a #michelin Star for its contemporary Cantonese cooking, while Anne-Sophie Pic has a #michelin Star for her French cuisine at La Dame de Pic. Phil Howard receives a #michelin Star for Elystan Street and the traditional Nordic dishes at Aquavit are also rewarded with a #michelin Star.
