Michelin Star Restaurants in Yorkshire 2026

For the very best fine dining experience, there is no need to look further than God’s Own County – Yorkshire. There are eight spectacular Michelin Star restaurants in Yorkshire, all waiting to tickle your taste buds with the finest food from the region.

The prestigious Michelin Guide event took place on Monday, 9th February 2026 in Dublin, recognising the finest restaurants across the UK and Ireland. See who made the list below.

There are two new Michelin-starred restaurants in Yorkshire

Fifty Two at Rudding Park, Harrogate – North Yorkshire

One Michelin Star

Led by Adam Degg, a contestant from the Great British Menu, Fifty Two embraces the essence of nature, offering an immersive dining experience with a focus on the highest quality ingredients cultivated in the kitchen garden or selected from trusted local producers.

Since its opening in May 2024, the restaurant has quickly gained recognition and become a favourite among foodies, so it’s no surprise they’ve earned themselves a Michelin star this year.

Weather permitting, guests are invited to explore the Kitchen Garden before settling in to enjoy the seasonal, surprise-tasting menu.

JÖRO, Sheffield – South Yorkshire

One Michelin Star

Recently relocating to a former mill just outside of Sheffield, Jöro has come on leaps and bounds. Owner and chef Luke French and partner Stacey Sherwood-French have stayed true to their approach of applying modern techniques to local ingredients while encompassing a touch of Nordic and Japanese style.

Their menus are both delightful and slightly playful, showcasing high-quality ingredients with genuine care. You can truly sense their team spirit and dedication to their craft, which is a true labour of love.

Now, with their well-deserved Michelin star, it’s evident that their hard work and commitment have really paid off.

Jake Jones, Head Chef at Forge - Michelin Star Restaurants Yorkshire

Michelin Star Restaurants Yorkshire: Forge at Middleton Lodge, Richmond – North Yorkshire

One Michelin Star and one Green Star for their ‘estate-to-plate’ philosophy

When Forge at Middleton Lodge launched in 2023, we bet our bottom dollar on it bringing home a Michelin – and we’re not surprised to announce that they have. Their unique tasting experience is guided by their sustainability ethos.

Head chef Jake Jones works closely with the estate’s gardening team to create innovative menus that showcase seasonal produce grown on-site, as well as working with local farmers and producers to source the very best ingredients.

Jake said: “Being awarded a Michelin Star really is a dream come true. We have an amazing team at Forge and at Middleton Lodge and this award means so much to all of us. Our guests’ experience is our priority, and I love what I do.”
