MICHELIN Guide: JÖRO and FIFTY TWO awarded stars in Yorkshire at glitzy ceremony
Two restaurants in Yorkshire have been awarded a MICHELIN Star for the first time.
The MICHELIN guide said Luke French’s JÖRO has developed rapidly since relocating from Sheffield.
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 restaurants join a coveted list including Mýse, Forge at Middleton Lodge Estate and The Angel, Hetton.
Our food reviewers visited both restaurants recently and were blown away.

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.
The London dining scene has continued to excel, with two restaurants receiving Two Stars.
Across the selection, 20 eateries have received One Michelin Star. 37 new Bib Gourmands have also been awarded for restaurants offering good food at a great price. Seven new Green Stars have been given for their outstanding commitment to a more responsible approach to gastronomy.
