Wales' seven Michelin starred restaurants have retained their stars for another year as last week saw the Michelin Guide 2023 revealed. A coveted star is an ultimate dream achievement for many chefs who are doing incredible things in their career.
Obtaining a star or two indicates that everything from the dishes to the service to the experience will be utterly exceptional if you're lucky enough to bag a table at one of these places. This year also saw a third restaurant in Wales be awarded with the prestigious Bib Gourmand Michelin award, which goes to restaurants whose service and food is not only commended but the value of money too. It was recognised as serving "good food at moderate prices".
But how much does it cost to eat at these fine dining restaurants which time and again impress the Michelin inspectors and, more importantly, what's on the menu? From Ynyshir in Machynlleth, which last year became the first restaurant in Wales to have two Michelin stars - and this year retained them - to Nathan Davies' (Ynyshir alum) SY23 in Aberystwyth and Home in Penarth, we've taken a deep dive into what's on offer at our seven celebrated restaurants just in case you fancy treating yourself to a meal that promises to be well worth the money – just make sure you book well in advance of any special occasion.
