  • 1890 by Gordon Ramsay

    London, United Kingdom

    1 Michelin star

    Inside The Savoy, 1890 by Gordon Ramsay occupies a ten-table room named for Auguste Escoffier, who arrived at the hotel in that same year. A surprise tasting menu draws on Escoffier's classical repertoire, reworked through modern technique, and earned a Michelin star in 2024.

  • A. Wong

    London, United Kingdom

    2 Michelin stars

    The first Asian restaurant outside Asia to hold two Michelin stars, A. Wong occupies a modest Pimlico address where Andrew Wong's 30-course evening menu draws from every Chinese province. Lunch remains accessible with à la carte dim sum, but the real draw is the night-time tasting format, which has reshaped expectations for Chinese cooking in Europe since 2012.

    1 Michelin star

    Occupying the cellar of a Church Street building where William Wordsworth once worked as Distributor of Stamps for Westmorland, The Old Stamp House serves an eight-course tasting menu for £105 that has drawn La Liste recognition two years running. Ryan and Craig Blackburn's 'A Journey Around Cumbria' format places this among the more seriously sourced regional cooking in the Lake District, at a price point that has few peers in contemporary British fine dining.

  • The Peat Inn

    Peat Inn, United Kingdom

    1 Michelin star

    A whitewashed 18th-century inn in rural Fife, The Peat Inn has earned a Michelin star and consistent La Liste recognition under Geoffrey Smeddle's tenure since 2006. The cooking draws tightly on the Scottish larder — East Neuk crab, Black Isle lamb, grouse in season — delivering precise, produce-led modern cuisine. Rooms are available for those staying overnight.

  • The Ritz Restaurant

    London, United Kingdom

    2 Michelin stars

    Two Michelin stars and 98 points from La Liste 2026 place The Ritz Restaurant among London's most decorated dining rooms. The Louis XVI interior sets an unambiguous register — this is formal dining as architecture — while John Williams's cooking draws on classical French technique applied to luxury ingredients, from langoustine à la nage to gueridon trolley service kept deliberately, pointedly alive.

  • The Samling

    Ambleside, United Kingdom

    1 Michelin star

    A Michelin-starred country house hotel above Windermere, The Samling offers a tasting menu built substantially on hyperlocal Lake District produce, including ingredients from its own greenhouse and orchard. The glass-walled dining room frames panoramic fell and lake views, while a second dining space, The Gathering, runs a shorter carte at a more accessible price point. The wine list runs to five-figure bottles.

  • The Whitebrook

    Whitebrook, United Kingdom

    1 Michelin star

    The Whitebrook distills the romance of the Wye Valley into a Michelin-starred journey of woodland, river, and orchard. Tucked into a tranquil hamlet, the restaurant composes tasting menus from foraged botanicals, heritage vegetables, and impeccably sourced Welsh game and seafood, revealing a terroir-driven narrative with precision and grace. Candlelit tables, linen-smooth service, and a quietly rich pace create space for flavors to unfurl—smoked butter and pine, dew-fresh herbs, wild mushrooms—and for conversations to deepen. For those who value authenticity over spectacle, The Whitebrook offers a serene, deeply seasonal escape where nature’s subtleties are translated into polished, memorable cuisine.

  • Trivet

    London, United Kingdom

    2 Michelin stars

    Trivet holds two Michelin stars and a leading Star Wine List ranking in a deliberately low-key corner of Southwark, where Jonny Lake's à la carte menu of sharply flavoured, technically assured dishes shares the stage with Isa Bal's Middle Eastern-leaning wine list. Mains run between £50–£60; the full package rewards diners prepared to engage seriously with both the food and the cellar.
