Yesterday, the 2020 Michelin Guide to Great Britain and Ireland was announced at a strange, sometimes surprising, and often predictable live event in west London. In total, the company awarded 23 new one-star restaurants, four new two-star restaurants, and one new three-Michelin-starred restaurant.

That meant, for London: one new three-Michelin-starred restaurant, one new two-star restaurant, and four new one-star restaurants. Here’s everything you need to know about all six.

La Dame de Pic London

Who’s behind it: Anne-Sophie Pic as executive chef, with head chef Luca Piscazzi and director of wine Jan Konetzki. Pic is the only female chef to be recognised with a new star in this year’s Michelin Guide to Great Britain and Ireland.
Cuisine: Pic recently orchestrated a total refurb of both the dining room and the menu, possibly, even probably in service of obtaining a second star. The food is almost entirely classical French, with any ventures outside the country nodding to classicism and formalism: acquarello risotto; tiramisu. It offers three tasting menus of four, six, and eight courses, as well as an a la carte. Premium ingredients like lobster, wagyu beef, bluefin tuna, and Scottish langoustine are everywhere.
Where is it: Four Seasons Hotel London, 10 Trinity Square, Tower Hill EC3N 4AJ
How much is the menu: Set lunch: £42 for three courses, excluding drinks. A la carte: Starters £25 — £51; Main courses £38 — £98; Desserts £15 — 19. “Discovery” tasting menu £95 per person; “Journey” tasting menu £120 per person; “Voyage” tasting meny £160 per person. Wine pairing £60; £95; £120.
What they said: “We’re delighted to have received this recognition from Michelin. To be awarded a second star only two years after opening is a huge honour and I’m incredibly proud of my whole team at La Dame de Pic London.” —Anne-Sophie Pic
