A double whammy of new three-star restaurants, three new two-stars and seventeen new entries – Michelin were keen to show their support for the hospitality industry this year, and 2021's results meant there was plenty to celebrate.
Immense congratulations to Clare Smyth and Hélène Darroze – two chefs who achieved three-star status and have reached the pinnacle of their careers. Andrew Wong (of A Wong), Tom Sellers (of Restaurant Story) and Rafael Cagali (of Da Terra) all won a second star too – very well deserved.
The new one-star restaurants for 2021 were Muse (London), Osip (Somerset), Shaun Rankin at Grantley Hall (Yorkshire), Dede (Baltimore, Co. Cork, Ireland), The Latymer (Surrey), Hide and Fox (Kent), Behind (London), Roots (York), Cail Bruich (Glasgow), Hjem (Northumberland), Cornerstone (London), Davies and Brook (London), Outlaw's New Road (Cornwall), Benares (London), Casa Fofo (London), Pea Porridge (Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk) and Sola (London).
