AngloThai, Mariscos El General, Pinna added

Michelin’s official London update for May 20 listed three newly added restaurants in the city’s guide: Cometa in Fitzrovia, Rucola in Covent Garden and KHAO BIRD in Soho. The Michelin Guide said those were the “three restaurants added to the MICHELIN Guide’s London selection this month,” in a post updating its latest London entries. Time Out reported on June 1 that three London restaurants added to the Michelin Guide in May were AngloThai, Mariscos El General and Pinna. But Michelin’s own published May roundup does not match that list, and the guide’s current restaurant pages place AngloThai in Marylebone and Pinna in Mayfair, not Soho and Covent Garden. ### Which restaurants did Michelin itself say it added in May? (guide.michelin.com) Michelin said on May 20 that Cometa, Rucola and KHAO BIRD were its latest London additions. In the same post, the guide described Cometa as a Mexican restaurant in Fitzrovia, Rucola as an Italian restaurant on the fifth floor of The Conduit club in Covent Garden, and KHAO BIRD as a Thai restaurant in Soho. (guide.michelin.com) The Michelin post also said London has “over 85 MICHELIN-Starred establishments and 45+ Bib Gourmands,” framing the monthly additions as part of a larger city selection that is updated outside the annual star ceremony. ### Why does the Time Out version look different? Time Out’s June 1 item could not be fully retrieved through the available page fetch, but search results identify it as a report saying three London restaurants were added to the Michelin Guide in May 2026. (guide.michelin.com) Those search snippets do not provide enough text to reconcile why its named restaurants differ from Michelin’s own May 20 roundup. Michelin’s official pages, however, do verify that AngloThai and Pinna are in the guide. AngloThai’s page describes it as a one-star Thai restaurant at 22 Seymour Place in Marylebone, while Pinna’s page lists 43 Curzon Street in Mayfair and describes classic Italian cooking. ### What is verified about AngloThai and Pinna right now? AngloThai is currently listed by Michelin as a one-star restaurant in the 2026 guide. (timeout.com) Michelin says the restaurant is run by John and Desiree Chantarasak and uses the line “Rooted in Thailand, Uniquely British” on its page. Pinna is currently listed by Michelin as a London restaurant in Mayfair. (guide.michelin.com) Michelin says it is named after chef Achille Pinna and highlights pasta, seafood and classic Italian dishes on its entry. ### What about Mariscos El General? Mariscos El General did not surface in Michelin’s official London search results or in Michelin pages returned by search. (guide.michelin.com) A separate restaurant website exists for a business using that name, but that does not verify inclusion in Michelin’s London guide. Because Michelin’s own May article names different restaurants, and because Mariscos El General was not independently confirmed on Michelin’s site in this search, the most supportable account is that Michelin officially published Cometa, Rucola and KHAO BIRD as its London additions for May 2026. (guide.michelin.com) ### Where should readers look for the next update? (mariscoselgeneral.com) Michelin’s London selection page is live and updated online, and its “New London Restaurants in the MICHELIN Guide” posts are the clearest public record of monthly additions. Michelin published the latest such London update on May 20, 2026. (guide.michelin.com 1) (guide.michelin.com 2)
