Every month a bunch of new restaurants are added to the Michelin Guide, the wide-ranging global restaurant handbook run by the same people who dish out exclusive Michelin stars.
Though not quite as much of a foodie compliment as a Michelin star, a nod from the Michelin Guide is pretty good going. ‘The Michelin Guide Inspectors are always on the road, assessing existing restaurants as well as uncovering new ones worthy of recommendation,’ they say, and they’ve just released the names of new restaurants added to the UK selection this December, with seven London restaurants included.
Top of the list is Legado in Shoreditch, a Spanish restaurant from Nieves Barragán Mohacho, who also runs Michelin star spot Sabor in Mayfair. The Guide praised the restaurant’s ‘exuberant cooking and well-oiled service’, adding that ‘The extensive menu shows off all the kitchen’s considerable talents, including a whole section on suckling pig that uses every part of the animal in a series of delicious ways.’
Our own Time Out review of Legado from earlier this year said much the same, with critic Elaine Zhao writing: ‘Delivered with stellar presentation, service and quality, not to mention style and grace, Nieves’ latest addition to her own legacy is a triumph.’
Other London restaurants included in the Michelin Guide update for December 2025 include Brasserie Constance from chef Adam Byatt of Clapham restaurant Trinity, on the new Fulham Pier development by Craven Cottage stadium, as well as Kruk, a Thai restaurant in Peckham, Ssam Ssam, a Korean restaurant in Wimbledon, Michael Caines at The Stafford, in St James’s, Somssi by Jihun Kim at the Mandarin Oriental in Mayfair, and Labombe by Trivet, which is also in Mayfair.
