All the British restaurants that were added to the Michelin Guide in March 2026

The life of a Michelin inspector seems pretty cushty to us. Travelling around sampling delicious fare from some of the best restaurants out there? Yup, sounds like the dream job (though Leonie Cooper’s got it pretty good, too).

As well as dishing out Michelin Stars and Bib Gourmands each year at an annual ceremony – this year’s was in February – at the start of every month inspectors also update the guide with a new batch of exceptional restaurants. Now, the Michelin Guide’s March 2026 additions have been revealed.

A total of 18 restaurants across Britain and Ireland made the prestigious list last month. Unsurprisingly, more than half of them hail from London, and we’ve already compiled a list of the 10 restaurants from the capital which joined the Michelin Guide in March here.

The remaining eight span the length and breadth of these British Isles. The list includes Dogstar in Leith, a converted pub on the coastal outskirts of Edinburgh with a wallet-friendly wine list. In Manchester, Brazilian joint Sampa, serving teardrop-shaped meat dumplings and a signature 'toadstool' dessert, has been recognised by the March guide. So has Noted in Chester, led by chef Andrew Sheridan (who you might recognise from Great British Menu in 2018-19).

Next up: Malverleys. Set on a small farm on the edge of the Wessex Downs, the food here takes inspo from the changing seasons, and ingredients are sourced from the working farm’s market garden. Croyde’s Restaurant Roku is also dedicated to seasonal British dishes, but reinterpreted through a Japanese lens. 

Seafood and steak are the showstoppers at The Hook, located in Guernsey's St Peter’s Port, and pair with gorgeous views of the harbour opposite. While gastropub The Spread Eagle by McLeod 9 in Edgeworth, Lancashire, serves a Morsels and Measures menu, an interpretation of bar food served with small wine pairings selected by an in-house master sommelier. 

Last but not least,  The Whitehouse in Lochaline showcases the best of Scottish produce via a casual fine dining experience. At £65 a head for a three-course dinner menu, the prices here are pretty reasonable too. 

The latest additions to the Michelin Guide are released on a monthly basis and are highlighted by a 'new' symbol on its website.
