Food # Michelin-Star Restaurants in the UK: Where to Book a Starred Meal Photo: Mukund Kanabargi / Google By [Alex Harding](https://staycation.co.uk/about#editor), Editor · Updated 2 November 2026 The restaurants on Staycation that hold Michelin stars in the 2026 guide, from London's three-star dining rooms to starred tables in Birmingham, Bath, Bristol, Edinburgh and Manchester. A Michelin star is the best-known mark of restaurant cooking in Britain, and a starred meal is a good reason to plan a break around a city or a part of the country. This guide lists the 86 restaurants with a page on Staycation that hold stars in the 2026 Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland, published in February 2026. It is not the whole guide: the full list runs to more than 200 starred restaurants, many of them in country towns and hotels we do not cover yet. The stars are awarded for the cooking alone, not the room or the service. One star means high-quality cooking, two stars mean excellent cooking, and three stars mean exceptional cooking. Stars are reviewed every year, so it is worth checking the current guide before booking a trip around one. ## Three Michelin stars All 5 of the three-star restaurants on this list are in London, in Mayfair, Notting Hill and Chelsea. - [Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester](https://staycation.co.uk/mayfair/restaurants/alain-ducasse-at-the-dorchester) (Mayfair) - [Core by Clare Smyth](https://staycation.co.uk/notting-hill/restaurants/core-by-clare-smyth) (Notting Hill) - [Hélène Darroze at The Connaught](https://staycation.co.uk/mayfair/restaurants/h-l-ne-darroze-at-the-connaught) (Mayfair) - [Restaurant Gordon Ramsay](https://staycation.co.uk/chelsea/restaurants/restaurant-gordon-ramsay) (Chelsea) - [The Ledbury](https://staycation.co.uk/notting-hill/restaurants/the-ledbury) (Notting Hill) ## Two Michelin stars - [A.

Many serve tasting menus that take a whole evening, so it helps to stay within walking distance or a short taxi ride. Several offer a shorter lunch menu, which can be an easier way to fit a starred meal into a day of sightseeing. Dietary requirements are best raised when booking.
