London's dining scene reached a new pinnacle following the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Ceremony for Great Britain and Ireland, which was held in Dublin for the very first time on February 9. This year, 88 establishments in the British capital were awarded or maintained MICHELIN Stars, reflecting a year of high-stakes openings and the continued dominance of Mayfair as a global gastronomic hub.

While the city’s six three MICHELIN-starred icons — including Core by Clare Smyth and The Ledbury — all retained their top star status, the headlines were stolen by a duo of sophisticated newcomers that leaped straight to two-star status. Bonheur by Matt Abé, located in the legendary former Le Gavroche site, and Jason Atherton’s Row on 5 have set a new benchmark for modern luxury.
Meanwhile, the one-star category saw a diverse influx of talent, from Restaurant Gordon Ramsay High on the 60th floor of the iconic and impressive 22 Bishopsgate, to the culturally rich Ambassadors Clubhouse and the neighbourhood charm of Camberwell’s The Kerfield Arms.
Here is the complete, definitive list of every MICHELIN-starred restaurant in London for 2026.
