Read: How the Michelin Guide Works
Three restaurants have been promoted from one to two stars, including the Elite Traveler Top 100 Restaurants entrant, La Dame de Pic. Anne-Sophie Pic, who was awarded the 2019 Chef of the Year by Elite Traveler, adds to an already world-class reputation with yet another star. The Dining Room at Whatley Manor in Malmesbury; and The Greenhouse in Dublin; were the other two restaurants elevated to two stars.
There was some ground-breaking announcements as far as one-star restaurants go. Mana became the first Manchester restaurant to win a Michelin star for over 40 years while the Lake District also earned three stars (Old Stamp House, Alium at Askham Hall and The Cottage in the Woods).

The Oak Room at Adare Manor, a Top 100 Hotel for Elite Traveler, also became the only restaurant in Limerick, Ireland, to hold a coveted Michelin star. There was more success in Ireland for Bastion in Kinsale and Variety Jones in Dublin, both receiving one star.
There were also some surprises. Kerridge’s Bar & Grill, London, failed to win a star despite being heavily tipped. Chef Tom Kerridge retains his two stars at The Hand and Flowers and his one star at The Coach but has yet to bring his London post at the Corinthia Hotel to the same level.
