The MICHELIN Guide Inspectors are on the road all year round, assessing existing restaurants as well as uncovering new ones worthy of recommendation in the Great Britain & Ireland selection. While The MICHELIN Guide distinctions – Stars, Green Stars and Bib Gourmands – are only revealed at the annual MICHELIN Guide Ceremony, the Inspectors add restaurants to the selection year round. These new restaurants are released on a monthly basis and are highlighted by a 'New' symbol; you can find them here on the MICHELIN Guide website and on the free mobile app (iOS/Android).

April 2024
8 new restaurants have been added to The MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland this month. The selected establishments showcase the wealth of quality and diversity of styles and cuisine types in the British and Irish dining scene, from a classic French bistro to a buzzy spot inside the National Theatre itself. Newcastle has had a particularly good month, with two new restaurants in the city entering the Guide and strengthening the city’s already enticing selection. Read on to discover all of our recently added restaurants.Kinkally, London
ContemporaryProviding further proof of the glorious diversity of London’s dining scene, Kinkally offers a modern take on traditional Georgian dishes. Located on Fitzrovia’s Charlotte Street (home to many a good restaurant over the years), it’s fun, it’s cool and the food is a delight to eat. Among the Georgian small plates on offer are a choice of khinkali dumplings, from which the restaurant gets its moniker. In the basement, the cheekily named 'Bar Kinky' offers an appealing cocktail selection in equally trendy surroundings.
Montrose, Edinburgh
Modern CuisineThe team behind Michelin-Starred Timberyard, also in Edinburgh, are responsible for this recent opening where big, bold flavours reign supreme and quality produce is key. It’s split into a ground floor bar – where the knowledgeable team serve an interesting wine selection accompanied by small plates like oysters and charcuterie – and the upstairs restaurant, where a set 4 course menu pushes seasonality to the fore. If you’re on a sightseeing tour of the city, then The Palace of Holyroodhouse is nearby.
Rabbit, Birmingham
Modern CuisineFew restaurants have relocated quite as far as Rabbit. Now settled in the Birmingham suburb of Stirchley, Chef-Owner Ash Valenzuela-Heeger first started showcasing her punchy, globally influenced cooking in Cape Town, where she was raised. After moving to the UK with her wife Erin, the pair are now attracting plenty of buzz and a constant influx of diners at the latest incarnation of their restaurant – where Erin leads the genial service and Ash serves from behind the kitchen counter. To make things even better, Rabbit doesn’t cost the earth.
