It was a big year for the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland 2020, with a record-breaking twenty-three new one-star entries into its hallowed pages, along with four new two-stars and a brand new three-star.
As usual there were a number of stars in London – including Da Terra, Endo at the Rotunda and The Dysart Petersham – but this year was notable for the number of new restaurant entries outside of the capital. The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland combined to rack up five new entries to the guide, including a brand new two-star restaurant in Aimsir – Jordan Bailey's proudly Irish restaurant in County Kildare. It was a big year in the north west of England too, with Mana winning a star for Manchester, and three Cumbrian restaurants also inducted into the guide – The Cottage in the Wood, Allium at Askham Hall and The Old Stamp House.
Three more restaurants also received a second star – The Dining Room at Whatley Manor, Le Dame de Pic and The Greenhouse in Dublin – before Sketch (The Lecture Room & Library) became the latest restaurant to receive the honour of a third Michelin star.
Michelin also announced that for the first time ever, the Michelin Guide will be available online in its entirety. Not only will you be able to read about every restaurant in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland, you'll also be able to book a table at the restaurant of your choice through the site.
