London is set to overtake Paris as the culinary centre of Europe within a decade, following a surge in Michelin Stars being awarded.
An analysis of the prestigious award found the UK has added more Michelin-starred restaurants than any other country over the last five years.
At this week’s annual award ceremony in Dublin, Britain and Ireland added another 21 starred restaurants to the collection, taking the total to 230 across the two countries.
Since 2021, there has been a net increase of 45 Michelin-starred restaurants in Britain and Ireland, a rise of 24 per cent, reports The Times.
Across the same period, the number of starred restaurants in France has grown by only three per cent, while Germany’s tally has increased by four per cent.
In that time, the number in Japan has plummeted by 27 per cent.
