LONDON, Sept 27 — Michelin inspectors have admitted 15 new restaurants across Great Britain and Ireland into the exclusive one-star club, promoted two dining destinations and dealt a blow to French culinary giant Joel Robuchon in the latest dining guide.
In the 2014 edition of the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland, L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon in London was demoted from two stars to a single star.
The big winners of 2014, meanwhile, include Dinner by Heston Blumenthal at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park Hotel and The Greenhouse, both in London, which were given their second Michelin star.
And 15 restaurants also earned their first Michelin star, including Spanish chef Elena Arzak’s debut in London, Ametsa with Arzak Instruction at the Halkin Hotel, and Lima, the first Peruvian restaurant in London to enter the Michelin club.
The full listing is available as of September 26 as an Apple app for £5.99, while the book version will hit bookshelves October 4 at £15.99 (RM83).
