Guernsey added two more restaurants to the 2026 Michelin Guide, lifting the island’s total to five listed venues. (guide.michelin.com) (bailiwickexpress.com) The two additions are The Hook and Le Nautique, both in St Peter Port, and both now appear as new entries in Michelin’s 2026 Great Britain and Ireland selection. Michelin unveiled that guide in Dublin on February 9, 2026. (guide.michelin.com 1) (guide.michelin.com 2) (michelin.com) Michelin’s Guernsey page now shows four restaurants on the island: Alba, The Hook, Fukku and Vraic. Bailiwick Express reported that Le Nautique’s addition takes the island’s Michelin-listed total to five, indicating the guide’s Guernsey landing page had not yet fully reflected the latest count when it was crawled. (guide.michelin.com) (bailiwickexpress.com) (guide.michelin.com) The Michelin Guide does more than award stars. It also publishes a broader list of selected restaurants, plus Bib Gourmand picks for good value, which means a place can gain Michelin recognition without receiving a star. (guide.michelin.com 1) (guide.michelin.com 2) That distinction matters in Guernsey, where the island’s Michelin footprint is still small but widening. Alba holds a Bib Gourmand, while The Hook and Le Nautique joined the guide as selected restaurants rather than starred ones. (guide.michelin.com 1) (guide.michelin.com 2) (guide.michelin.com 3) Michelin describes The Hook, on North Plantation in St Peter Port, as a “Meats and Grills” restaurant priced at ££. It lists Le Nautique, on Quay Steps, as a £££ seafood restaurant in a former sailmaker’s warehouse on the harbor. (guide.michelin.com) (guide.michelin.com) Le Nautique also arrives with a longer local track record than the “new” Michelin tag suggests. The restaurant says it has operated in converted 18th-century vaults since the mid-1960s and calls itself Guernsey’s oldest established restaurant. (lenautiquerestaurant.co.uk) Across Britain and Ireland, Michelin’s 2026 guide includes 1,210 restaurants and 230 starred venues, so Guernsey remains a tiny part of the book by volume. But for an island with a population of about 64,000, five listed restaurants is a noticeable concentration of guide-recognized dining. (michelin.com) (gov.gg)
