Whats the history of Michelin in Britain?
The first ever Michelin Guide to the British Isles was published in 1911. In 1974, when the guide was relaunched in its modern guise, 25 restaurants managed one star. In 1977, four restaurants were awarded two stars for the first time (the Connaught, Le Gavroche, the Waterside Inn and the Box Tree). In 1982, Britain could finally boast a three-star restaurant thanks to Monsieur Roux at Le Gavroche.
