Why Du Cerf is closing

Soldati wrote that he wants to step back while he is in good health and still enjoys cooking, after more than a quarter of a century as a starred restaurateur. He had hoped to hand the restaurant on so its story could continue, but that did not work out. He and Christian Albrecht, both formerly of the Hôtel de Ville in Crissier, took over the Cerf at the end of 1999. It has held 16 Gault&Millau points since 2000 and a MICHELIN star since 2001, and Soldati has run it alone since July 2015.

How to eat there before it closes

The gastronomic menus, agreed with the chef when booking, cost CHF 189–215, and a business menu of CHF 109 is served at lunch and dinner on booking. The restaurant asks guests to contact it directly for tables until 19 December, and anyone holding a booking or a gift voucher to get in touch with its reference. Our page of Michelin star restaurants in Berne lists the canton’s other starred tables with their prices, and keeps Du Cerf until it closes.

The Swiss guide’s next ceremony

The MICHELIN Guide reveals its new Swiss selection in Andermatt on 2 November, seven weeks before Du Cerf’s last service. Our MICHELIN Guide Switzerland results page will list that night’s new and lost stars.

Magill Estate Restaurant, Australia’s first two-star

Chef Scott Huggins cooks at Magill Estate Restaurant, beside the vineyard where Penfolds began. Its full tasting experience costs A$375 (about $265) per person, with a sommelier’s wine pairing at A$260 (about $185), and a shorter Signature Menu is A$295, also served at weekend lunch.

The ten one-star restaurants

Four are in and around the city, where dinner costs A$330 (about $230) at Restaurant Botanic in the Botanic Garden, A$130 (about $90) at Aurora at ILA on Light Square, A$135 (about $95) at Esmay in Hackney and from A$165 (about $115) at arkhé in Norwood. Six are country kitchens, three of them open only at lunch: Aptos in Stirling, the dearest in the state at A$495 (about $345) for 16 courses, LVN Restaurant at Bird in Hand in Woodside, Hentley Farm in the Barossa, Maxwell Restaurant in McLaren Vale, Anvers at Kangarilla and Skillogalee Barrel House in the Clare Valley, whose two-course lunch at A$59 (about $40) is the cheapest Michelin-starred meal in the country.

The rest of the selection

The guide lists 77 restaurants in all: the 11 with stars, 16 with a Bib Gourmand, among them Africola and Parwana Afghan Kitchen in Adelaide, and 50 MICHELIN Selected. Shakaan Abillion of Shōbōsho won the Young Chef Award, Melissa Pisanelli of Allegra Dining Room the Service Award and Maxime Martin of Hardy’s Verandah the Sommelier Award.

Why Sydney and Melbourne have none

The guide covers South Australia only, so Sydney and Melbourne are still without a star; our guide to Michelin star restaurants in Sydney and Melbourne explains why. Every starred restaurant in the state, with dinner, lunch and wine pairing prices, is on our South Australia Michelin star restaurants page, and Adelaide’s five are on its Adelaide page.

The two new two-star restaurants

Ralf Berendsen opened SUIS only at the end of April, after leaving La Butte aux Bois in Belgium. Its tasting menu costs €225 (about $250), and there is a lunch menu at €95 (about $105). At Azurite in Delft, chef Mario Ridder’s menu costs €229 (about $255).

New one-star restaurants

Seven restaurants won their first star: Ambrozijn in Valkenburg (€129 (about $145)), Bij Sidney in Loenen aan de Vecht (€125 (about $140)), De Cuijt in Mierlo (€135 (about $150)), Le Epifaan in Veeningen (€155 (about $175)), Nassau in Groningen (€110 (about $125)), Rozewied in Kortgene (€105 (about $115)) and Wild Atelier in Hoog Soeren (€179 (about $200)). The prices are each restaurant’s dinner menu per person. Rozewied’s chefs, Noëmie Haentjens and Ferdy van Rijswijk, also won the Young Chef award.

Which Dutch restaurants lost their stars?

De Juwelier and Daalder in Amsterdam, Sense in Vught and Da Vinci in Maasbracht lost their stars. Two two-star restaurants closed during the year, De Groene Lantaarn in Staphorst and Spectrum in Amsterdam, and De Woage in Gramsbergen left the guide after becoming a bar.

How many Michelin stars does the Netherlands have now?

The 2026 guide lists 119 starred restaurants: one with three stars, 20 with two and 98 with one, plus 77 Bib Gourmands. Every one, with dinner, lunch and wine pairing prices, is on our Netherlands Michelin star restaurants page, and the full list of changes is on our MICHELIN Guide Netherlands 2026 results page.

What a meal at Orfali Bros costs

The tasting menu at Orfali Bros costs AED 795 (about $215) per person, and its set lunch AED 295 (about $80), the cheapest two-star meal we list in Dubai.

Birch and KIGO

At Birch, chef Arslan Berdiev’s menu costs AED 790 (about $215), with a wine pairing at AED 550 (about $150). Japanese omakase and kaiseki at KIGO cost AED 1,500 (about $410); its chef Akinori Tanigawa and his team also won the Service Award.

Why closed restaurants kept their stars

Al Muntaha, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, Ossiano and Smoked Room are all temporarily closed but kept one star each. Michelin told Gulf News that a star rests on its latest inspections and is checked again when a restaurant reopens. Ossiano’s Rémy Marquignon still won the Young Chef award.

How many Michelin star restaurants does Dubai have?

Twenty: FZN by Björn Frantzén and Trèsind Studio with three stars, four with two and 14 with one, among 122 restaurants in the guide. Trèsind Studio, where Himanshu Saini cooks, is still the only Indian restaurant in the world with three stars; we profile him with the other Indian Michelin star chefs. Every one, with prices, is on our Dubai Michelin star restaurants page, and every change is on our MICHELIN Guide Dubai 2026 results page.

American South: Nashville, 21 October

The second edition of the guide for Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Louisiana is revealed at The Pinnacle in Nashville. Its first edition starred 19 restaurants, all with one star except Emeril’s in New Orleans, which has two. Our American South results page will list every change on the night.

Switzerland: Andermatt, 2 November

Michelin moves the Swiss ceremony from the EHL hospitality school in Lausanne to the Andermatt Concert Hall, almost 1,500 metres up in the Alps. Our pages list 133 starred restaurants in Switzerland, four of them with three stars: Schloss Schauenstein, Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl, Restaurant de l’Hôtel de Ville in Crissier and Sven Wassmer Memories.

Italy: Piacenza, 12 November

The Teatro Municipale in Piacenza hosts the launch of the 2027 Italian guide, the biggest of the five: 379 starred restaurants in Italy, 14 of them with three stars. Italy names its guide for the year ahead, so the stars announced in November are the 2027 selection.

Spain and Andorra: Huesca, 24 November

The gala comes to Aragón for the first time, at the Palacio de Congresos in Huesca, after Málaga last year. Our pages list 298 starred restaurants in Spain and Andorra, 16 with three stars.

Northeast Cities: Manhattan, 14 December

One guide, revealed at the Glasshouse in Manhattan, covers New York, Chicago, Washington DC, Boston and Philadelphia. It covers 115 starred restaurants, six with three stars, among them Le Bernardin and Per Se.

What we do on the night

We update each guide’s restaurants from Michelin’s press release and the news coverage, with the price of a meal at every new star, and write the night’s main changes up here. Every guide’s date, including the ones further off, is on our page of Michelin Guide ceremony dates.

There was no ceremony this year: Michelin revealed the 2026 selection in a press release.

Fabrik: a vegan tasting menu in Austin

Chef Je Wallerstein’s Fabrik moved up from the guide’s Recommended list. Its tasting menu costs $105 per person before tax and tip, with a wine pairing at $65. It joins the short list in our guide to vegan and vegetarian Michelin star restaurants.

Kappo Kappo: the Kishi brothers’ counter

The menu at Kappo Kappo, the Japanese counter of twin brothers Haru and Gohei Kishi, costs $195 a head.

Goldee’s Bar-B-Q: Fort Worth’s first star

Fort Worth’s Goldee’s Bar-B-Q sells barbecue by the plate rather than a tasting menu, so a meal there costs about $42. That puts it among the cheapest Michelin star restaurants anywhere.

Which Texas restaurants lost their stars?

La Barbecue stays in the guide as a Recommended restaurant, without its star. Olamaie, one of Austin’s first starred restaurants, closed on July 19 after 12 years. No restaurant in Dallas, Houston or San Antonio lost a star, so Dallas keeps both of its starred restaurants: Mamani and the sushi counter Tatsu Dallas.

The rest of the 2026 guide

The guide lists 149 restaurants. Six new Bib Gourmands went to Bar Buena, Khoi Barbecue, Kitchen Rumors, Murray’s Pizza & Wine and Xolo in Houston, and Resident Taqueria in Dallas. Stefan Davis, general manager of Barley Swine, won the Service Award.

Every change, with prices, is on our MICHELIN Guide Texas 2026 results page, and every starred restaurant in the state is on our Texas Michelin star restaurants page.

What a meal at AnnaLena costs

Chef Michael Robbins’ AnnaLena has held one star since 2022. Its tasting menu costs CA$178 (about $125) per person before tax and tip, and the wine pairing CA$95 (about $70). It is now one of three two-star restaurants in Canada.

Which Vancouver restaurant lost its star?

Barbara, Patrick Hennessy’s restaurant, stays in the guide as a Recommended restaurant without its star. The ten one-stars all kept theirs, from Kissa Tanto to Okeya Kyujiro and Published on Main.

The rest of the guide

Why Aburi Hana lost its star

Aburi Hana was closed for nearly a year and reopened on 17 September, days before the ceremony, with a new head chef, So Sakata, and an à la carte menu beside its tasting menu. Hexagon closed in December 2025 after its chef, Rafa Covarrubias, left to run Restaurant 20 Victoria, which holds a star of its own.

The region’s starred restaurants

In Lincoln, Restaurant Pearl Morissette keeps its two stars, with a menu at CA$275 (about $195). The one-stars include Sushi Masaki Saito, the region’s dearest at CA$780 (about $555), Alo, Edulis, Enigma Yorkville and The Pine in Creemore. Every one, with prices, is on our Toronto Michelin star restaurants page.

The rest of the guide

The guide lists 111 restaurants, with 31 Bib Gourmands. It is Toronto’s first since the Green Star was replaced by Mindful Voices; the first went to Aldo Camarena and Ashley McKay of Antylia.

Why it closed

Bellin cited his mother’s retirement from the family inn, which goes back to 1870, the money the building needs, and a rethink of his own career; he says he will keep cooking. He won his first star in 2005 and his second in 2010. Its last listed tasting menu cost €370 (about $415).

Brittany’s other starred restaurants

Our Brittany Michelin star restaurants page lists every starred table in the region with its prices, and keeps L’Auberge des Glazicks under “No longer starred”.

What a meal at Milpero costs

The tasting menu at Milpero costs $225 per person before tax and tip, with a drinks pairing at $125. Curiel’s other two Denver restaurants already hold a star each: Alma Fonda Fina, where a main costs about $45, and Mezcaleria Alma.

The rest of Colorado’s stars

Colorado’s only two-star restaurant, The Wolf’s Tailor, kept both its stars. The one-stars are Milpero, Brutø, Beckon, Alma Fonda Fina, Mezcaleria Alma, Margot and Kizaki in Denver, Frasca Food and Wine in Boulder and Bosq in Aspen. The guide lists 63 restaurants, with three new Bib Gourmands. Every starred restaurant in the city, with prices, is on our Denver Michelin star restaurants page.

What a meal at Xin Rong Ji costs

The Chengdu branch of Xin Rong Ji serves the cooking of Taizhou in Zhejiang and has been in Sichuan for about three years; its Beijing branch already holds three stars. A typical meal costs CN¥846 (about $125) a head, an average spend rather than a set menu.

The new one-star restaurants

The first, Zinan, cooks refined traditional Sichuan food, at about CN¥329 (about $50) a head. The second, Focus by Bill Yue, cooks Japanese-French food at about CN¥798 (about $120), and its sommelier Sam Liu won the Sommelier Award.

How many Michelin stars does Chengdu have?

Fifteen starred restaurants: Xin Rong Ji with three, Yu Zhi Lan with two and 13 with one, among 84 restaurants in the guide. Lan Guijun of Yu Zhi Lan received the city’s first Mentor Chef award. Every starred restaurant, with prices, is on our Chengdu Michelin star restaurants page.

The starred Las Vegas restaurants

At the MGM Grand, Restaurant de Joël Robuchon holds two stars, with a tasting menu at $525, and its sister counter L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon one ($255). Guy Savoy’s restaurant at Caesars Palace charges $450 for its menu, and é by José Andrés, the hidden counter inside Jaleo at The Cosmopolitan, $325. All prices are per person before tax and tip.

Utah’s first Michelin star

Chef Martín Babío’s Monte in South Salt Lake won the guide’s only star outside Nevada; its menu costs $160. Arizona and New Mexico have no starred restaurants yet, as our guide to Michelin star restaurants in Phoenix explains.

The rest of the guide

The guide covers Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah, with 64 restaurants: 5 starred, 18 Bib Gourmands and 41 recommended. Sean Christopher of Restaurant de Joël Robuchon won the Service Award. Every starred restaurant in the city, with prices, is on our Las Vegas Michelin star restaurants page.

Why it closed

Caistor Hall was sold in April to Quadmark Group, a training company, and stopped taking hotel guests. Poynton told The Staff Canteen that without the rooms the restaurant lost its pull as a destination, that it had made money for three years, and that rising costs were not the reason. He now concentrates on the Ancient Shepherds in Fen Ditton, near Cambridge.

Where to find a starred meal in Norfolk now

Our Norfolk Michelin star restaurants page lists the county’s starred restaurants with their prices, and keeps Mark Poynton at Caistor Hall under “No longer starred”. The year’s other closures are in our guide to UK Michelin star restaurants that closed.

The two new two-star restaurants

Kevin Wong’s Seroja, open since 2022, also kept its Green Star; its tasting menu costs S$218 (about $170). The other, 1887 by André, marks André Chiang’s return to Singapore, in the century-old dining room of Raffles Hotel with Ben Wang as head chef. Its menu costs S$198 (about $155), and it won the new Opening of the Year award.

New one-star restaurants

The six first stars went to Cherry Garden by Chef Fei (S$198 (about $155)), Jin Ting Wan (S$198 (about $155)), Loca Niru (S$298 (about $235)), Sushi Kimura (S$380 (about $295)), Tenshima (S$400 (about $310)) and Yong Fu (S$250 (about $195)), each its dinner menu per person before the 10% service charge and GST. Loca Niru’s Shusuke Kubota won the Young Chef award.

Which restaurants left the Singapore guide?

Alma by Juan Amador, Chaleur, Esora and Euphoria all closed during the year. Of the 29 restaurants starred in the first Singapore guide in 2016, 14 have since closed.

How many Michelin stars does Singapore have now?

Three restaurants hold three stars (Les Amis, Odette and Zén), nine hold two and 33 hold one. Every one, with prices, is on our Singapore Michelin star restaurants page, and the full list of changes is on our MICHELIN Guide Singapore 2026 results page.
