All Michelin-Starred Restaurants Reopening Dates
3rd Jul 2020
If you are trying to book a top rated Michelin-starred restaurant for July 4th, expect to join a virtual queue. Less than a quarter will open tomorrow, working as they are with partial staffing under a welcome avalanche of bookings.
London restaurants lag behind the rest of the UK when it comes to opening their doors, due to a mix of limitations on space and trading conditions with their ability to seat enough customers to match outgoings. Just 12% of London’s Michelin-starred restaurants are opening for July 4th, compared to 26% for the rest of England. Things get better throughout July with total reopenings in London stacking up to 31%, versus 67% for England. Those in the trade can but hope that as supply grows, demand will continue to remain high.
Scotland’s first permitted day of opening is July 15th with 30% commitment from its restaurateurs. Wales can reopen from Monday July 13th for outside dining, and Monday August 3rd for indoor dining.
