Michelin-Starred Restaurants in W1: The Full List for 2026

The W1 postcode is the densest cluster of Michelin-starred restaurants in Britain. Mayfair alone carries more stars than most cities, and Soho, Marylebone and Fitzrovia add many more. This is the list of the W1 Michelin star restaurants for 2026, grouped by star count, with the chef and cuisine for each. Stars are reviewed every year and the Guide adds and removes entries through the year, so confirm the current award on the Michelin Guide before you book.

How to book a Michelin-starred table in W1

The three-star rooms and the tasting-counter restaurants (Kitchen Table, Evelyn's Table, Row on 5) release tables a set number of weeks ahead and fill within minutes, so set a reminder for the booking window. Lunch is easier to land and often far cheaper than dinner, with set menus at a fraction of the evening price at several of the above. If a particular room is full, the Guide's wider Bib Gourmand and recommended lists across W1 are full of excellent alternatives without the wait.

Frequently asked questions

How many Michelin-starred restaurants are in W1?

W1 holds dozens of starred restaurants across Mayfair, Soho, Marylebone and Fitzrovia, including several of the UK's three-star rooms. The exact count shifts each year as the Michelin Guide updates its selection, so check the Guide for the current total.

Which W1 restaurants have three Michelin stars?

The long-standing three-star holders in W1 are Hélène Darroze at The Connaught, Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester and Sketch (The Lecture Room & Library), all in Mayfair.

What is the cheapest way to eat at a Michelin-starred W1 restaurant?

Book lunch rather than dinner. Many starred rooms offer a set lunch menu at a much lower price than the evening tasting menu, which is the most affordable way to try the cooking.

Do I need to book far in advance?

For the three-star rooms and the small tasting counters, yes. They release tables a fixed number of weeks ahead and sell out quickly, so book the moment the window opens. One-star restaurants are usually easier, especially midweek.

Are the stars the same every year?

No. Michelin reviews its awards annually and also adds and removes entries through the year, so a restaurant can gain, keep or lose a star. Always confirm the current award on the official Michelin Guide before booking.
