Michelin Stars 2011

[Simon_S]

Gregan's is serving cracking food, the most exciting I've eaten since Dylan McGrath closed Mint, but I still think it's unlikely to get a star (knowing Michelin's history here). I hope I'm wrong.

Absolutely stunned this hasn't leaked yet - anyone heard anything "on the inside"?

Spoke to several people, seems very under wraps this year. There maybe something after the Chefs dinner on Monday night if not look out just before noon on Tuesday

Not that the blog is on the inside, we just talk to people nicely

i see the black swan at oldstead got 3 rosettes which puts it in some exalted company, it was an espoir last year so may well be in for the upgrade this year.

i went about a year ago, i thought it was a lot of style over substance, very cheffy plates - the antithesis of something like the sportsman but if it's working for them then good luck to them. The rooms are supposed to be good so i guess it ticks a lot of boxes from the michelin view point.

It would be great to see Castle Terrace Restaurant in Edinburgh awarded a star http://www.castleterracerestaurant.com/

Easily the best meals I've had in the city last year - head and shoulders above some of the other starred establishments in the city.

Has the list been leaked anywhere at all? Someone, somewhere has usually got hold of a copy by now.

[nickloman]

Does the lack of any leaks suggest the lack of news worthy changes?

[Hearno]

Aye, or something so spectacular they've adopted military-level secrecy to stop anything getting out?

[Chef Hermes Blog]

Had a very good look around over the past two days (including previous known URL's for Michelin) & nothing.

Offically it will go live on Michelin's website at 11:40 GMT, will have some tip bits through tonight from the Chef's gathering.

[petrus]

Thanks for your efforts, Chef. The secrecy is frustrating; I am rather hoping that Trinity in Clapham gets a star.

Feedback from last night seems to be, promotions for L'enclume, Sat Bains & Hibiscus.

Some chefs seemed to be under the impression that they were going to get a sneak preview :laugh:

Feedback from last night seems to be, promotions for L'enclume, Sat Bains & Hibiscus.

If the Sat Bains rumour is true that is well deserved.

[david goodfellow]

Here's hoping for a raft of new stars, as I am running out of places to go too.

[Gav]

If the Sat Bains rumour is true that is well deserved.

Agreed, I've literally just booked this morning for March and came on here to see if there was anything new about the restaurant, glad I got the booking in now if that's so!

My meal there last year was way above my (excitedly high) expectation. Doing us Nottingham folk proud in the food stakes.

[KaffirLime]

Slightly off-topic so sorry. I've always wanted to visit Sat Bains but have been put off by the fact that he only does a tasting menu. Is this still true or does he offer ALC? If he does only do a tasting menu how would he accommodate my sadly delusional vegetarian partner - or wouldn't he?

[oedipus]

He accommodated mine but far better to convince her of the error of her ways so she can enjoy the full experience

[Gav]

Regards the ALC, there's a smaller 5 course menu midweek that might be better suited..?

[olicollett]

sat bains is usually v accomodating to fussy eaters, i'm sure you won't have a problem if you let them know well in advance!

Coming off Twitter now:

Well-deserved new stars but slightly dull result as predicted.

[nickloman]
