Michelin additions rolling
The Michelin Guide added five Bay Area restaurants and six Los Angeles spots (including Lapaba and Corridor 109) in its March update — fresh signals for future star contenders ( ). Scotland also got two new entries — Dogstar Leith and The Whitehouse Oban — noted for food and views (scotsman.com).
SFist identifies the Bay Area entrants as Wolfsbane, Restaurant Naides, Dingles Public House, Le Cigale and Yeobo, Darling (Menlo Park). (sfist.com) Michelin’s March 25, 2026 announcement names the six Los Angeles additions as Corridor 109, Firstborn, Lapaba, Little Fish Melrose Hill, Lugya'h and Zira Uzbek Kitchen. (guide.michelin.com) Michelin’s profile for Corridor 109 notes it is an intimate 11-seat counter tucked behind Bar 109 where the tasting menu centres on fish largely sourced from Japan. (guide.michelin.com) The guide’s write-up on Lapaba highlights its Italian-Korean mashups, calling out dishes such as bulgogi meatballs in a truffle‑tomato sauce and radiatore with short‑rib ragù. (guide.michelin.com) Michelin says new entries are marked with a “New” symbol on its site and reminds readers that Stars and Bib Gourmands are announced at the annual ceremony, while SFist notes past California guide updates landed in mid‑July 2023, early August 2024 and mid‑June 2025. ( ) The Scotsman reports Dogstar in Leith is the new venture from chef James Murray that opened to strong reviews in late 2025, and The Whitehouse Restaurant sits in Lochaline (Oban) and is singled out for its coastal views.
