In a surprise turn of events, The Ritz Restaurant regains another Michelin Star, bringing joy to those who thought they had been overlooked.
New Michelin-Starred Restaurants Grace London's Dining Scene in 2025
London's culinary landscape continues to evolve, with several new restaurants earning a place in the prestigious Michelin Guide for 2025. Here's a roundup of the noteworthy additions to the city's Michelin-starred dining scene.
The Prince Arthur, a pub offering high-end Basque-influenced cuisine in Belgravia, is one such newcomer. Claro, an Eastern-Mediterranean restaurant originally from Tel Aviv, also made its debut. Fowl, a spin-off from Fallow focusing on chicken from beak to tail, and Dove, Jackson Boxer's reimagined restaurant with seasonal sharing plates, are also worth mentioning.
La Palombe, a neighbourhood bistro by an ex-Ledbury chef, and Supawan, a Thai cuisine establishment, are the other additions to the guide. One of the most significant new additions, however, is AngloThai, chef John and Desiree Chantarasak's restaurant, which marked an important milestone as the UK's first Michelin-starred vegan restaurant.
The Ritz Restaurant, under the leadership of executive chef John Williams since 2004, was awarded a second Michelin Star in the 2025 guide. Williams, who won his first Michelin Star in 2017, is joined by chef-founder Kirk Haworth of Plates on Old Street, who aims to 'get rid of the word "vegan"' and focus on flavor excitement and innovation.
Sadly, City Social and Kai lost their Michelin Stars this year. However, new contenders like Morchella in Clerkenwell and The Hero - Maida Vale received new bibs in the 2025 guide. Cornus in Belgravia and Hellenic-inspired Oma in Borough Market are among the ten new restaurants to receive a One Michelin Star in London.
Rosie Paterson, our Digital Content Director & Travel Editor, has been busy with various projects this year. She has been invited to judge a travel media award, chaired live discussions on the London property market, sustainability, and luxury travel trends, and edited the magazine's special Queen's Platinum Jubilee issue. She also coordinated our platform's own 125th birthday celebrations.
For those interested in exploring the full list of One, Two, and Three Star restaurants, a visit to the Michelin website is recommended.
