June 2026
Another dozen restaurants have joined the MICHELIN Guide Selection this month. Among the additions, there are several openings from already established restaurants who are expanding their reach with exciting new projects. It’s also a great month for fans of Mexican cuisine, with restaurants serving tacos, tostadas and more in both London and Dublin. What’s more, there’s yet another great restaurant on Bristol’s Chandos Road – fast becoming one of the best culinary streets in the country.
Burro, London
ItalianBrits’ love of Italian cooking knows no bounds, and now London has yet another terrific restaurant showing off the cuisine in all its glory. It comes courtesy of Irish chef Conor Gadd, who is already one of the driving forces behind the popular Trullo in Islington. With Burro, he has taken his brand of classical, unfussy Italian goodness to the city centre, in Covent Garden’s lovely Floral Court. The generous pasta courses should not be skipped, nor should the moreish fried artichokes with bottarga to kick things off.
Daise by Tony Parkin, Oxton
Modern Cuisine, Asian InfluencesAn intimate new opening on the Wirral, Daise marks the return of Chef Tony Parkin, who counts the MICHELIN-Starred House in Ardmore amongst his CV. His wife Laura and well-known restaurateur Andrew Sheridan are both co-owners, but it’s Parkin who drives the food, working largely alone in the kitchen crafting his modern tasting menu shot through with well-judged Asian flavours. Whether it’s daikon, yuzu or kaffir lime, expect to find ingredients from Japan, Thailand and beyond on the menu, along with a dash of invention.
Parrilla, Dublin
MexicanDubliners with a taste for Mexican cuisine should be rejoicing at Parrilla’s existence. Not only does it offer a bright, generous taste of the country’s famously vibrant cooking, but it also provides a terrific night out. Packed with joyful diners, it’s a buzzing place where the music is turned up loud and the team have an infectious enthusiasm. The food, of course, hits the spot with good ingredients and careful execution allowing the likes of grilled barbacoa lamb to deliver satisfyingly intense flavours.

INOS, York
GreekAny visit to the medieval city of York will put a smile on your face, but you’ll be especially buoyant if your day out includes a meal at INOS. Founded by Chef Martin Tsatsas, this simply styled restaurant in the heart of the city draws on his Greek heritage to provide a roll-call of authentic classics. Whether you’re enjoying pita with hummus and tirokafteri (feta-based dip) or sharing a moussaka, the cooking is sure to satisfy and you can feel the passion poured into every dish by Tsatsas and his team. Come at lunchtime for excellent value for money.
KHAO BIRD, London
ThaiThe team behind the successful Lucky Khao in Brighton have followed the bright neon lights of Soho to open their first permanent London spot, after much success with a year-long residency near Borough Market. The focus is on barbecued dishes from Northern Thailand, with bold yet balanced flavours abounding in the likes of the moreish khao soi noodles with succulent chicken thighs. The vibe is exactly what you expect in this part of London: relaxed, lively and perfect for a night out. That this all comes at affordable prices is an added bonus.
SONDER, Cardiff
Modern BritishAlready home to several of Cardiff’s best restaurants – including its only MICHELIN-Starred spot – the Pontcanna neighbourhood has struck gold yet again with this endearing modern brasserie. Expect a friendly welcome from the switched-on team and cooking that’s all about showing off prime ingredients, be that a mixed seafood grill, steaks aged in the on-display fridges or homemade sausages. Arrive early for a drink at the bar, whether you choose a cocktail, a pint or a glass from the fairly priced wine list.

Fan, London
South AmericanOffering a modern take on Nikkei cuisine, where Japanese techniques meet Peruvian flavours, this neighbourhood restaurant is the first European outpost from a trio of friends who began the Fan journey in their native Lima. Chef Coco Sasaki takes inspiration from his grandmother, who played a big role in Peru’s Japanese community, while his co-founders are of Cantonese descent. Expect the likes of tiraditos, ceviche and nigiri on a menu that looks across the globe for inspiration alongside its Nikkei core, resulting in original and invigorating dishes.
The Jolly Gardeners, Chester
Traditional CuisineBrothers Ben and Joe Wright have been behind several successful restaurants in historic Chester and they have another winner in this refurbished 1850s inn that has lost none of its ‘proper pub’ character. Stripped-back and hearty dishes are the order of the day, with a sausage roll or the house black pudding hard to resist as a pre-meal snack, followed by more flavour-over-fuss dishes. They serve a roast dinner on Sundays, of course, and the cosy surroundings will provide the ideal backdrop for a comforting finish to your weekend.
The Refectory, Ugborough
Modern Cuisine‘Farm-grown, sea-caught, hand-foraged' is the tagline for this intimate restaurant on a sprawling regenerative farm. Following the closure of The Angel in Dartmouth, Chef Elly Wentworth headed here and now she’s cooking up fresh, produce-led dishes as well as leading the personable service, with 10 of the 18 guests sat at a kitchen counter. The locally made charcuterie and preserved garden vegetables are a great way to start. The all-European wine list has been passionately curated and has particularly strong selections from Austria and Portugal.

2210 by NattyCanCook, London
CaribbeanMany people will have heard Chef Nathaniel Mortley’s story in the run-up to the opening of 2210 – a classically trained chef, he spent time at HMP Brixton where he rekindled his love of cooking at inmate-run restaurant The Clink – but now it’s here, the focus has shifted to the merits of his Caribbean cooking. Well-known dishes like ackee and saltfish or jerk chicken are presented with a different spin, while Mortley’s training is evident in the well-honed techniques and carefully cooked produce. The lively atmosphere is a real bonus.
Dogstar, Leith
Modern BritishThe new kid on the block in the continuously excellent Leith dining scene on the edge of Edinburgh, Dogstar comes from Chef James Murray, who previously forged a reputation at Timberyard. Now in his own restaurant, he has assembled a delightful service team to run this lively converted pub, where the dishes are best shared among friends and aim to spotlight the seasonal local larder, from game and seafood to various cuts of beef written on the mirror and priced by weight. A wallet-friendly wine list adds to the appeal.
Sampa, Manchester
BrazilianAn engaging experience delivered with pride, passion and personality, Sampa is Chef Caroline Martins’ ode to the flavours of her native Brazil. The restaurant is even named after the nickname for her hometown of São Paulo. At a chef’s counter of just a dozen seats, she and her team are warm, friendly hosts as they serve and describe a procession of Brazilian dishes from coxinha to feijoada. To complete the experience, you can opt for the largely Brazilian wine flight or even a cachaça cocktail pairing for something different.
