The Michelin Guide has been running since 1904 and has been awarded up to three stars for excellence in the hospitality industry, including in restaurants.
The 2025 Michelin Guide, which lists all the starred restaurants in the UK and Ireland, was unveiled at a ceremony on Monday, February 10.
More than 100 restaurants were included in the guide in London alone; however, only 11 of those restaurants were new to the list.
As the likes of Humble Chicken, OMA and Row on 5, all earned their first Michelin Stars.

Humble Chicken and The Ritz Restaurant were the only new London restaurants to earn two Michelin Stars meaning “the chef’s personality and talent are evident in the dishes, which are refined and inspired” according to Michelin.
One Michelin Star means restaurants use “high-quality ingredients and consistently prepare dishes with distinct flavours.”
Humble Chicken on Frith Street serves a tasting menu inspired by Japanese and European roots sharing “everything is designed to provide a Kitchen-Theater like experience.”
The team at Humble Chicken offers a range of tasting menus, including a 16-course omakase for £185, a 12-course omakase for Saturday lunch for £135 per person, and the signature Humble sake pairing for £130.
Describing Humble Chicken, the Michelin Guide wrote: “While Chef-Owner Angelo Sato’s Japanese heritage provides the basis for this modern, upbeat izakaya, his creative streak ensures the theatrical tasting menu takes on a style all its own.
“Clever flavour and temperature combinations feature throughout, as do the kitchen’s immense precision and technical skill.”
Another London restaurant to join the Michelin Guide was 64 Goodge Street which earned one star.
64 Goodge Street has a menu based on French cooking, with a dining room that’s been built from scratch to offer “an oasis of comfort and a space in which guests feel utterly taken care of.”

Reviewing 64 Goodge Street, the Michelin Guide shares: “Fine ingredients are used to excellent effect in bold, gutsy combinations that deliver simply delicious results; ensure you save room to finish with the greengage Tatin or the textbook Paris-Brest.”
OMA also made the Michelin Guide, earning one star for serving meals “inspired by the serenity and simplicity of the Greek Isles.”
Describing OMA, the Michelin Guide writes: “This is the spot that the capital’s Hellenic food enthusiasts have been crying out for, with utterly delicious sharing dishes that include spreads and breads, tuna in various forms, plenty from the charcoal grill and standouts like spanakopita and giouvetsi.”
