Claridge's bags Michelin star

Gordon Ramsay at Claridge's, Locanda Locatelli and the Number One restaurant at the Balmoral hotel, Edinburgh, are among 16 restaurants celebrating after being awarded one Michelin star. Pied á Terre in Bloomsbury, London, has regained its two Michelin stars after losing one of them in 2000.

A spate of restaurant closures has meant that Michelin has had to remove stars from a number of high-profile restaurants, including La Tante Claire at the Berkeley hotel, London, John Burton-Race at the Landmark hotel, London, Blinis in Bath, and Cheznico in Mayfair, London. Michelin's 2003 edition of the Red Guide Great Britain & Ireland is published on 17 January.Addition of stars:
