- The Ritz crowned best restaurant in the UK by the National Restaurant Awards 2025 - here's the full list
It's been quite the journey for The Ritz under its Executive Chef, John Williams.

Lyle's has also dropped out, but that's

... - Here are the London restaurants who won a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2025
Every year, before the main stars are announced, Michelin usually reveals the Bib Gourmands a few days or more in advance. But this year, for some reason that we can't fathom, the guide didn't really announce them at all. Instead, at the awards event, they revealed how many new Bibs they had awarded and seemed to want the audience to applaud the number without saying who

Last year the Michelin Guide announced it was starting a whole new award category for hotels. In the same way that a Michelin star gave you an idea on whether a restaurant was worth going to, the Michelin key would hopefully do the same for hotels.
So far, keys have been announced for Japan, Italy, Spain, France and the US. Today, it was the turn of the UK and
