Michelin added eight London restaurants to its guide on April 15, then on April 8 said it will launch a new American Great Lakes edition in 2027. (guide.michelin.com 1) (guide.michelin.com 2) The London additions were LUSO in Fitzrovia, Fan in Bayswater, Mareida in Fitzrovia and The Hart in Marylebone. Michelin’s April update also added Osteria Angelina, Motorino, MOI and The Lavery. (guide.michelin.com) Michelin described the London group as unusually wide-ranging, spanning Portuguese, Chilean, neo-Nikkei, Italian-Japanese fusion and modern British cooking. The company said London has more than 85 Michelin-starred restaurants and more than 45 Bib Gourmand picks. (guide.michelin.com) The Great Lakes guide will cover six cities: Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh. Michelin said its anonymous inspectors have already begun making reservations and scouting restaurants across the region. (guide.michelin.com) (michelinmedia.com) Michelin said the full restaurant selection for the new regional guide will be revealed at an American Great Lakes ceremony in 2027. The company has not yet announced the ceremony date or host city. (guide.michelin.com) The move adds a new inland U.S. region to a guide that has expanded in recent years through city and state partnerships. Local tourism agencies in Cleveland, Detroit and Indianapolis each framed the Michelin launch as a way to attract visitors and raise restaurant sales. (michelinmedia.com) In Britain and Ireland, Michelin’s monthly additions are not stars or Bib Gourmands. The guide says those higher distinctions are still reserved for the annual Michelin Guide ceremony, while new recommended restaurants are added throughout the year. (guide.michelin.com) That means the London eight have cleared Michelin’s first bar: inspectors now recommend them. For the Great Lakes cities, the next test is whether that same process produces stars, Bib Gourmands or plain guide listings when the 2027 selection arrives.
