The latest edition of the culinary bible includes 22 new one Michelin-starred restaurants, three new two-starred restaurants, and one new three Michelin-starred establishment, Moor Hall, in Aughton, Lancashire.
Sheffield has again missed out on a Michelin star, despite being acknowledged as one of the UK’s foodie hotspots.
But three restaurants in Sheffield are recommended in the Michelin Guide, and another six nearby, including some beautiful venues in the Peak District have also made the grade.
There’s one new addition to the list of top restaurants near Sheffield - the ‘amazing’ Bulls Head, in Holymoorside, near Chesterfield.
Juke & Loe has dropped out of the guide after closing last year, but the brothers behind the acclaimed restaurant are now cooking up a storm at their classy new venture Frerot, within Sheffield’s Cambridge Street Collective food hall. There you’ll find bold flavours and an adventurous take on the classics, in a relaxed setting, offering remarkable value for money.
Another Sheffield restaurant, JÖRO, retains its place in the Michelin Guide following its move to a gorgeous old paper mill in the picturesque Don Valley, on the edge of the Peak District.
Below are all the restaurants in and around Sheffield which are recommended in the Michelin Guide 2025.
They’re all no more than a short drive, bus ride or train journey from Sheffield city centre, and they are each perfect choices in their own right for a special occasion and a meal you will never forget.
The restaurants featured range from an old vicarage to a charming 12th century inn but every one combines top service with exceptional food.
