The 1997 Michelin Stars

Dine Online - the UK Restaurant guide

Who's in - and who's gone?

Phew! all the existing two and three star restaurants remain as they were. But, the movements of the up and coming chefs, those in the one star category, have meant a few places have been relegated. But does it really matter. We think two of the restaurants Michelin has dropped have now recovered from their transitional phase, see below.

And now for the sob stuff...

The Four Seasons Restaurant on Hyde Park Corner lost its star follwing chef Jean-Christophe Novelli's departure to set up his award winning restaurant Maison Novelli. Then Gary Rhodes, the spikey haired TV star left The Greenhouse, and nowtheir star has gone. I think that's sad; we visited theGreenhouse very recently, and we awarded it our accolade for theBest Modern British Restaurant of 1996. We also greatly enjoyed just before Christmas. By the time we visited both these restaurants, the various chef changes had settled down, and we think they are both very well worth recommending.
