Michelin Guide Restaurants
in the UK
Michelin Star Restaurants - Some
background information:
Stars for fine cuisine only reflect
the cooking, the food on the plate,
judged on the quality of the ingredients,
their preparation, the combination
of flavours, imagination and above
all a consistent standard of all
these qualities throughout the
meal.
The Guide is a selection of good
establishments, not a critical
review.
