    About This Edition

    The 2026 edition marks a dramatic restructuring of the 2-star category, with zero venues retained from 2025. The 177 new entrants span 11 countries and 90 cities, representing the broadest geographic diversity in recent memory. Ynyshir Hall's top placement puts a Welsh venue at the forefront for the first time, while traditional fine-dining centers like Paris and Milan appear absent from the top ten. Japan dominates the leading tier with Ifuki, Kikunoi - Tokyo, KAHALA, suggesting renewed focus on kaiseki and traditional Japanese techniques. London's Brooklands by Claude Bosi and Kitchen Table represent the UK capital, while Spain contributes Iván Cerdeño from Toledo. The inclusion of Terre in Castlemartyr, Ireland, Papilio in the Czech Republic signals Michelin's expansion beyond established markets. The complete dropout of previous stalwarts like Villa Crespi, Enrico Bartolini, Sketch indicates either promotion to 3 stars, demotion to 1 star, or closure. This wholesale change makes the 2026 edition fundamentally different from its predecessor, requiring diners to recalibrate their understanding of the 2-star landscape. Bangkok's R-Haan rounds out the top ten, marking Southeast Asian representation at the highest level.
