The gastronomy bible announced on Monday that 20 restaurants have been given a Michelin Star for the first time, while three got two stars and four were awarded a green star. Twenty new Bib Gourmands – venues that offer a quality three-course meal at a reasonable price – were also announced.
But there was disappointment as none of Sheffield’s contenders were included in the awards this year. Nevertheless, the Michelin website lists a number of quality restaurants in the Steel City, the Peak district and further afield in Derbyshire. Here's 9 venues that have been included on the website. For each picture we have included the description given in the guide.

2. Jöro
A simple but stylish place in the Krynkl shipping container development, run by a keen chef-owner. Tasting menus mix modern British, New Nordic and Asian cuisine and feature some unusual combinations; book the Chef’s Bench to really feel part of the action. House of Jöro offers four bedrooms a short walk away. Photo: submit
3. Rafters, Nether Green
Exposed beams and brick add character to this stylish first floor restaurant, which offers set 4 and 6 course menus of modern, richly flavoured dishes; cooked with enthusiasm and served with pride. Wines are usefully listed by their style and characteristics. For the full experience book the chef’s table. Photo: submit
4. The Old Vicarage, Ridgeway
A delightful former vicarage in a semi-rural spot on the city’s edge. Two fixed price menus offer sophisticated dishes with assured flavours and subtle modern influences; the ‘Prestige’ best showcases the chef’s abilities. Photo: Google
