Far from being a guide that exclusively recommends UK restaurants that most of us would have to remortgage our homes to be able to afford a bowl of soup in, the MICHELIN Guide is committed to uncovering the very best and highest quality - to use a phrase adored by the great Gregg Wallace and John Torode of Masterchef UK fame - “plates of food” that the UK has to offer. Simple. Introduced by famous tyre manufacturers MICHELIN to encourage France’s first leisure motorists to make more road trips - and go further afield so they might need to renew their tyres quicker (!) - the MICHELIN guide has been helping foodies and travellers the best places to eat and sleep across the globe since 1900.
Committed to seeking out and independently reviewing every type of establishment serving meals and refreshments to customers - everything from hotel dining rooms, country inns, fine dining restaurants or cosy guest houses - the information held within the MICHELIN guide is perfect for any foodies embarking on a UK road trip. In fact, the recommendations detailed in the guide are a great help to anyone looking for a decent meal! Here at M8 we want everyone to have access to the most valuable local knowledge available, and as we know that sharing meals is one of the greatest and most popular pastimes for thousands of you, it was a no brainer to get the MICHELIN guide involved in our app!
