Sally Abé and Adam Byatt restaurants added to Michelin Guide

Two of British cooking's best known names have had new openings recognised by the Michelin Guide, as inspectors confirmed 22 additions to the Great Britain and Ireland selection in october 2026.

Sally Abé's Teal by Sally Abé in Hackney and Adam Byatt's Rosina in Wandsworth both joined the guide this month, alongside further recognition for Theo Clench's Igni in Mayfair and Pierre Minotti's reimagined Orrery in Marylebone.

Sally's debut solo restaurant joins the guide

Teal by Sally Abé opened in March 2026 on the former Sesta site in Hackney, in partnership with co-owner Abe Drewry. It is Sally's first restaurant as sole chef patron, after years as head chef of The Harwood Arms, the Michelin-starred gastropub in Fulham, as well as spells at The Pem and The Bull.

Michelin lists the restaurant under seasonal cuisine. The name comes from Sally's favourite game bird, and the menu takes in dishes such as haunch of deer with pickled walnuts and cavolo nero, built around a little British bistro concept.

Sally reached the banquet of Great British Menu in 2025, returning as a judge the following year.

Adam's first Italian restaurant recognised

Rosina opened in Wandsworth in the summer of 2026, Adam's first Italian restaurant and his first neighbourhood opening in over a decade. Michelin lists the restaurant under Italian cuisine.

Named after his young daughter, Rosie, Rosina sits near Wandsworth Common with a 50 cover dining room, a stand-alone bar, a private dining room and a terrace with 25 outdoor covers. Several long-standing front and back of house staff from Trinity, Adam's Clapham restaurant, have moved across to the new site, which is his sixth restaurant.

Will Bee, formerly of Lita, works as head chef at Rosina.

Adam, recently the winner of Chefs' Chef of the Year at the AA Hospitality Awards, has run Trinity since 2006, where it holds a Michelin star and three AA rosettes, and he chairs the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts.

Speaking to ahead of opening, Adam said: "I want people to feel better in leaving than when they were arriving."

Theo Clench and Pierre Minotti also recognised

Theo Clench returned to the guide with Igni, which opened on St George Street in Mayfair in April 2026 on the site that was Humo.

Michelin lists the all-fire restaurant under modern cuisine and grills. Theo won a Michelin star at Cycene in Shoreditch before leaving in 2024, and has said his ambition for Igni is to win a star of its own.

Pierre Minotti became executive chef of Orrery in Marylebone as the Evolv Collection restaurant, founded by Sir Terence Conran in 1991, reopened this year after a full refurbishment.

Michelin's own write up said Pierre's cooking does not reinvent the wheel but shows off top shelf ingredients in classical combinations, praising dishes such as quail with vin jaune and Creedy Carver duck with a red wine sauce, and singling out the restaurant's cheese selection. Pierre spent four years as executive chef at Alex Dilling at Hotel Café Royal, which won two Michelin stars under him, after training in classic French cuisine at the Catering College Hyacinthe Friant in Poligny.

The other two openings the inspectors singled out

Michelin gave full write ups to three of this month's additions, Orrery among them. The other two were:

Eden, Hever. Chef George Blogg, who made his name at Gravetye Manor, now cooks within the Hever Castle Estate in Kent. Inspectors praised his tasting menu of estate produce, including a scallop ceviche with elderflower, green strawberry and dashi.

Impala, London. The Soho restaurant from chef Meedu Saad, previously head chef at Kiln, cooks over fire with a menu inspired by North African and Mediterranean cuisines. Inspectors called it instantly likeable and praised its uncomplicated, flavour-forward dishes.

The rest of the London additions

Elsewhere in the capital, three more Italian restaurants joined the selection alongside Rosina: Dara Klein's Tiella Trattoria and Bar in Bethnal Green and Ornella in Hackney both entered under Italian cuisine. Trèsind, the London outpost of Dubai's three-Michelin-starred Trèsind Studio, joined under Indian cuisine, while Zylia, the Greek Cypriot taverna in Covent Garden's Arcade, entered under Greek cuisine.

Idalia, Levan, Panta Rei, Tavern and Whiteley's Kitchen also joined the London selection this month.

Regional entries

Outside London, Sussex supplied three additions in Orla Restaurant and Rooms in Lindfield, Restaurant Isca in Haywards Heath and The Third Monkey in Farnham. Winifred's in Hastings, Teffont House in Teffont Evias and Duke of Cumberland's Head in Clifton were also added, along with The Garden Room in Kinbuck, Scotland's only entry this month.

Being added to the Michelin Guide is not the same as receiving a star or a Bib Gourmand, which are announced at the annual ceremony. It does confirm that inspectors have visited and rated the restaurant worthy of the selection, and it is the pool from which the awards are drawn.
