With dozens of international cuisines represented across a dining scene that boasts over 80 MICHELIN-Starred establishments and 40+ Bib Gourmands, London is quite simply one of the best places to eat around the globe. With new London restaurants constantly opening and familiar favourites always evolving, here are the Inspectors’ latest additions to The MICHELIN Guide.
Six London restaurants have been added to The MICHELIN Guide’s selection this month, with the city’s usual mix of styles on full display. There are two great Indian restaurants, along with a cult Thai favourite, an on-trend wine bar and traditional Ukrainian fare. There’s even a return to the limelight for the ever-divisive surf ‘n’ turf. Together, they give London food lovers yet more reasons to be excited.
Cadet, Islington
Modern British, Mediterranean CuisineHaving already been in operation as a wine bar for a couple of years, earlier in 2025 this Newington Green spot expanded its food offering with the aid of ex-Leroy chef Mike Murphy. There’s not a single frill to be found here and it’s all the better for it, with the blackboard menu listing classic dishes like pâté en croute – a clue that the place is owned by charcutier George Jephson alongside wine importers Beatie and Roberts.
Island, King’s Cross
Meats and SeafoodThe ever-developing area around Coal Drops Yard received another culinary boost when acclaimed chefs and friends Brad Carter and Tom Brown opened up this buzzing spot at the top of Mare Street Market. Surf ‘n’ turf is the name of the game, so along with skilfully cooked prime produce like charred pork chop or catch of the day, expect combinations like ’nduja and squid fried bread, steak with lobster Béarnaise or Guinness bacon rarebit oysters.
Madhu's Southall, Southall
IndianSouthall may be a long way from central London, but you’ll be glad you came once you try the cut-above curries at Madhu’s. Options like the rogan gohst use good-quality ingredients and have a real substance to their flavours, with plenty of richness and depth to the sauce. Add in some of the friendliest service around and, in an area with plenty of competition, Madhu’s could quickly become your go-to.
Pravaas, South Kensington
IndianSituated mere minutes from the South Kensington Tube station, Pravaas has the slightly understated feel of a neighbourhood restaurant – albeit a slick and modern one befitting of the area. The cooking is informed by all regions of India, with a few recognisable classics supplemented with more eye-catching and intriguing dishes that show off the kitchen’s skill for spicing and well-balanced flavours.
Singburi, Shoreditch
ThaiThe number of people who claim they were regulars at Singburi’s original home in Leytonstone is on a par with those who boasted they saw The Sex Pistols play The Screen on the Green. Whether you really did visit the original branch or not, you’re now more likely to get a table at the larger Shoreditch premises, forming part of the new Montacute Yards development. Bright, lip-smacking dishes and sensible prices show just why it’s so popular.
Sino, Notting Hill
Modern CuisineA warm, endearingly run ode to Ukraine, this sweet restaurant comes from Chef Eugene Korolev and features an array of dishes from his home country. There are plenty of robust flavours on display, from the black pudding croquettes to the beef dumplings, and make sure you start with the lovely Borodinsky rye bread. The cosy room has a simple design, with colours reflecting its name, which translates as ‘hay’.
