Michelin hands out 37 new Bib Gourmands

Nearly 40 restaurants from across the UK have been awarded a 2026 Bib Gourmand from Michelin.

Ahead of The Michelin Guide Ceremony on Monday 9 February, when the new Michelin Stars will be announced at the Convention Centre in Dublin, the guide issued an early announcement of this year’s new Bib Gourmands, the award which recognises 'good food at a great price'.

"Dining out is one of life’s great pleasures, but it can be an expensive business at times," says the Michelin team. "That’s why our Bib Gourmand restaurants are so valuable. These are the restaurants where generosity is the order of the day, providing tremendous value for money without skimping on flavour.

"It is a genuine delight, therefore, to announce that this year there are 37 new Bib Gourmands in The Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2026."
