Made possible thanks to a partnership with Scotland Food & Drink and Glasgow Life, The Michelin Guide Ceremony Great Britain & Ireland will take place on Monday 10th February 2025 at Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum. It will be followed by a cocktail afterparty, held at The Old Fruitmarket.

All chefs running a MICHELIN-Starred restaurant, as well as journalists, influencers, partners and industry leaders will be invited to the Ceremony, during which new Michelin Stars and Special Awards will be unveiled.

Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of The Michelin Guides, commented: “We are absolutely thrilled to announce that, for the first time, The Michelin Guide Ceremony for Great Britain & Ireland will be presented from Scotland.

“The home of delicious produce, timeless culinary traditions and warm hospitality, Scotland, and more specifically the buzzing city of Glasgow, is a fitting location to celebrate the incredible gastronomic talent across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

“The Michelin Guide team are hard at work preparing an event that will honour the passion, determination and skill of everyone who makes our industry so special.”

The Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2025 launch ceremony will be broadcast live via The Michelin Guide’s YouTube channel, allowing everyone to share in the excitement of this prestigious event.

Gary Townsend, Chef-Owner of Elements in Bearsden shared his thoughts on the announcement: “The Glasgow food scene right now is as electric as it is eclectic and Michelin is undoubtedly still the godfather of all food accolades. So the announcement today that the 2025 Michelin Awards are being held here in our city is absolutely fantastic and cements Glasgow's place as a gastronomical, must visit UK destination. It would be phenomenal to see additional local restaurants recognised, but equally important is the huge effort Glasgow, and the rest of the country is placing on regeneration and sustainable practices within the hospitality sector. It would great to see more Green Stars for Scotland!”

Dean Parker, head chef at Celantano’s, said: "We are beyond excited with the news that the 2025 Michelin Awards will be held in our city of Glasgow. Glasgow is a melting pot of different cultures and cuisines, with a really special food and drink scene that still lies slightly under the radar.

“In the years since we've opened, we have established some incredible relationships with a variety of people, producers, and places within the city's food and drink industry, and have found it such a welcoming scene to be a part of. We're really looking forward to welcoming some of the UK's top chefs and industry leaders to the city in February, and giving them a real taste of Glasgow hospitality."
