Michelin Guide to Restaurant Dining
The most coveted of the restaurant awards are announced every New Year in the deepest, darkest depths of January. And each year as we the foodies ponder the additions, exclusions and demotions of the Michelin Stars, there are restaurants around the country celebrating, cursing and commiserating.
For 2010 the list has been refreshed with one new three stars restaurant (Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester at Mayfair), new two stars restaurant (The Ledbury at Kensington) and 18 new one star restaurants.
Here's the definitive guide for 2010 – make sure you get in quick and make a booking, because once an establishment has been draped with the Michelin mantle all hell breaks loose in the reservations department.

We went for a dinner at a restaurant called l'etranger in Kensington. It was our first time there. Amazing experience. An interesting and tasty mixture of French & Japanese cuisines, well presented staff, very knowledgable Sommelier and cool decor. All of us enjoyed so much and felt this place should be there in Michelin Guide. Very fashionable top end restaurant in posh Gloucester road. We always prefer to follow Michlin Guide to go out for good dining experience, but this was an unforgotable experience and we were astonished by that place, without being mentioned anywhere in any guide book. One of our coligue reccmended to us, and we are gonna rememeber this for long for sure.
