Star wars

Food fans are aware of where food has gone in the past decade or so.  Between blow-torched puddings to accompaniments made of foam, our ancestors wouldn’t know what to make of it all.

However, one constant that has always remained with chefs everywhere is the inexhaustible desire to have a Michelin star on the door.  This endorsement puts you in another league.

Michelin have always been protective of their “baby” to ensure that standards are high.  But it doesn’t mean that they’ve lost touch.  Many of their restaurants are actually quite accessible and affordable.

Here are twenty three that prove that, courtesy of Buzzfeed.com

In London, there is the delighful Bibendum restaurant, in an old Michelin garage. Click above.

Celebrated French chef Claude Bosi launched Claude Bosi at Bibendum back in 2017, with a ground-floor seafood and oyster bar and first-floor restaurant which is ‘unashamedly fine dining’, with the chef’s signature contemporary and light-hearted flair.

The a la carte menu features some of his signature classics and the chef’s Michelin-starred alma matter, with ingredients sourced predominantly from the British Isles and France.

The striking upstairs dining room with its dramatic and iconic floor-to-ceiling stained glass windows has been redesigned to house a larger central open kitchen.

The light and airy dining room will feature the original Conran chairs with a soft colour palate of muted blues.

We’ve been there.  It’s a visual thrill as well as a gastronomical one.  Click here to book via Kayak.
