The Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2014 has been announced with a total of 17 new stars awarded. The biggest moves were for London restaurants Dinner by Heston Blumenthal and the Greenhouse, which were upgraded to two-star status.
It's apparent London still dominates the fine dining scene with a total of nine out of 15 new one-star establishments located in the city.
The newly starred restaurants include the much talked about Ametsa with Arzak Instruction, which received consultation from famed father-daughter duo Juan Mari and Elena Arzak, and Lima, a restaurant from Peruvian rising star Virgilio Martinez. Also on the one-star list is L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon which lost its second star.
There were no new three-star restaurants added to the guide. Hopes are still high that perhaps Manchester will finally crack the list next year.
The Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2014 is available for purchase onAmazon for 15.99 pounds ($25.71).
