Michelin Guide UK 2023: Latest additions, July 2023
Purnell's Café & Bistro is one of 10 new restaurants included in the latest update of the Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland.
The new Michelin additions include notable establishments such as Saltie Girl in London, a specialist in tinned fish, and Furna in Brighton.
Saltie Girl was commended for capitalizing on the "new craze" for tinned fish, pairing it with delectable and harmonising accompaniments.
On the other hand, Furna, which opened in November 2022 and is helmed by chef Dave Mothersill, impressed with its precisely crafted dishes centered around British produce with innovative Asian influences.
