With the exception of one understandable pause in 2020, the MICHELIN Guide has been reviewing fine-dining restaurants around the world for over a century and awarding the best-of-the-best with a ranking through the coveted MICHELIN Star system.
After all that restaurants have endured over the past three years, the fact that fine-dining establishments have returned with the high caliber of service they’re known for is remarkable in and of itself. But a few places stand out from the pack … without further ado, here are the 2023 Star selections for the UK and Ireland.
