Watch: Inside glitzy MICHELIN Guide Ceremony 2026 as two Yorkshire restaurants awarded star for first time
Watch celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and chef, food writer and CEO Domini Kemp speaking from the MICHELIN Guide Ceremony 2026 in Dublin.
Footage gives a glimpse inside the glitzy MICHELIN Guide Ceremony Great Britain and Ireland 2026 held in Dublin last night (Feb 9) - as two Yorkshire restaurants were awarded a MICHELIN Star for the first time.
Speaking from the ceremony at the Convention Centre, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay said: “We are seeing some of the most exciting times in industry right now, and the up and coming young chefs of today, I think this is the absolute best”.
French’s cooking is bold and original yet measured with it, adding nuances of flavour into every dish, the guide said.
Further north, in Harrogate, FIFTY TWO is situated in a converted shipping container at Rudding Park and provides a theatrical platform for Chef Adam Degg and his skilled cooking.
Degg makes excellent use of preserved ingredients and each element on the plate shines through with great clarity of flavour, the guide states.
The Michelin Guide for 2026 - and all the new Stars - have been unveiled in Dublin. It’s the first time the Guide has hosted in the Irish capital, after success in Glasgow in 2025.
A total of 1,210 restaurants - including 230 Starred ones - are included in the selection, with all Three-Michelin-Star establishments retaining their distinction.
