Michelin held its annual awards ceremony for Great Britain and Ireland, in Dublin on Monday, February 9.
Every year, the finest restaurants and pubs in the country are awarded with Michelin Stars during the event, but the culinary giant also highlights recommendations in its Michelin Guide, which is regularly updated.
Across North Yorkshire, 34 restaurants have been named the best in the region by Michelin, receiving praise for service, food quality, creative menus, cooking techniques, and more.
FIFTY TWO in Harrogate was also awarded a new star in the 2026 awards.
