Another month has passed, which means it’s time to announce some more of the MICHELIN Inspectors’ favourite new additions to the MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland.
For our fourth live release we see 12 more new restaurants featured. These appear on both the website and the iOS and Android apps and are highlighted with a ‘New’ symbol for easy identification.
The annual MICHELIN Guide distinctions for 2022 – Stars, Bib Gourmands and Green Stars – will still be unveiled at the annual launch ceremony. Some of these newly recommended restaurants may be among them; book now to stay ahead of the curve!
Catch at The Old Fishmarket
Weymouth
There are few pastimes more likely to encourage you to sell up and move to the coast than eating recently landed fish while staring out to sea. Here in Dorset, on a quay in Weymouth, the locals are now lucky enough to have the suitably named ‘Catch’ – housed in a delightful 19C fish market which couldn’t be closer to the water’s edge. The kitchen team execute their skills with considerable aplomb but also understand the importance of restraint.

Unalome by Graeme Cheevers
Glasgow
It appears to have been a triumphant homecoming for this eponymous chef. Graeme Cheevers is a name familiar to most foodies as he’s left his mark on a number of kitchens around Scotland. Now it’s time for him to go it alone with his own restaurant – in Buddhism, the Unalome represents the path we take in life – and for this, he chose a return to his hometown. It’s a restaurant for all occasions so expect a contented buzz. The classically based, confident cooking makes great use of the finest Scottish ingredients.

Adrift
Dunmore
You’ll receive a friendly West Cork welcome from the team at this fourth generation, family-run restaurant. Situated on the ground floor of the Dunmore House Hotel, on the Wild Atlantic Way, it boasts superb views out over Clonakilty Bay. Menus showcase locally sourced produce, with plenty of fruit, vegetables, salads, herbs and flowers from their own organic kitchen garden. Stay the night in one of the stylish, comfortable bedrooms; preferably one with a sea view.

Home
Penarth
‘Home’ means so many different things to different people – but one constant is a feeling of comfort and care. During lockdown James Sommerin and his family threw themselves into preparing meals for the NHS – but now he and his wife Louise have their own restaurant once again and they deserve every bit of success. You can expect an immersive experience, complete with a surprise tasting menu. Wales should be as proud of this restaurant as any Josh Adams try.

The Bailiwick
Egham
This pretty, well-run pub sits in a tranquil spot on the edge of Windsor Great Park and its walls feature art showcasing the beauty of its ancient forests. A pre or post-prandial stroll is a must – as is the eating of game shot by the park’s gamekeeper; a regular feature on the menu. Come at lunch for a bar menu of pub classics, or in the evening for carefully constructed, modern dishes which demonstrate the chef’s experience, with their attractive flourishes and complementary flavours.

Watson and Walpole
Framlingham
Along with her husband David, restaurateur and food writer Ruth Watson – formerly known as TV’s ‘Hotel Inspector’ – has joined forces with chef Rob Walpole to open this contemporary restaurant in the heart of the attractive market town of Framlingham – and their passion for hospitality is clear to see. The appealing Italian menu offers flavour-packed seasonal dishes, with plenty of fresh pasta alongside meat and fish roasted in the wood-fired oven. An all-Italian wine list is well-priced, with most available by the glass.

Bar des Prés
Mayfair, London
Chic, bijou and appealingly styled, with an impressive marble counter, the luxurious London outpost for famed TV chef Cyril Lignac certainly befits its smart Mayfair address, and the suited staff pull off a polished performance. Menus offer fun, modern, Japanese-influenced dishes, including sushi, California rolls, spicy salads and miso cod; this is luxury comfort food and the locals are lapping it up. Classic French desserts – the chef’s speciality – are a must!

The Glenturret Lalique
Crieff
Set within the world’s oldest working whisky distillery, this intimate restaurant mixes the luxury with the everyday, both in its surroundings (its beamed ceiling is hung with two beautiful Lalique chandeliers), as well as in its dishes, with the likes of tattie scone served alongside Highland Wagyu and caviar. Precisely crafted modern dishes have a clean, delicate look and great depth of flavour, and many are finished at the table.

Habas
Manchester
Habas comes from the same owners as Canto and El Gato Negro and occupies what was once the wine cellars of the magnificent former Manchester Club building. Arrive early for a cocktail in the bar before moving into the fun, slightly retro style dining room. Small sharing plates take their influences mainly from the Middle East but there are also hints of the Mediterranean to be seen. Must-haves include the homemade pita bread, stuffed filo cigars and vegetable dishes.

Evelyn’s Table
Soho, London
This tiny, passionately run restaurant is hidden beneath the Blue Posts pub and has two sittings each evening, ten counter seats and a subterranean speakeasy vibe. Arrive on time to watch Head Chef Luke Selby and his brothers Nat and Theo as they confidently craft sophisticated dishes using a mix of French and Japanese techniques. Each dish on the perfectly balanced set menu is explained in detail and the wine list offers an interesting selection from lesser-known producers.

The Glass Curtain
Cork
Monochrome décor and exposed pipework set the scene at this compact brasserie. It sits in the Victorian Quarter of the city and both its name and the large photo on the back wall pay homage to the building’s former life as the iconic Thompson’s Bakery. The charming team create an enjoyable atmosphere and food is cooked with grá (Gaelic for ‘love’). Appealing modern dishes have a personal, sometimes playful, touch and great flavours shine through.

Engine Social
Sowerby Bridge
It's all about sharing at this welcoming restaurant, where great value, generously proportioned small plates burst with colour and flavour. Cooking has a Mediterranean base and well-judged global influences; the flatbreads are a must and the vegetables, not to be missed. From the outside, the stone building might look traditional but inside it's contrastingly modern, with closely set, dark wood tables looking onto an open-plan kitchen with a wood-burning oven.
