National Restaurant Awards 2026: The Full List Of Winning UK Restaurants & Special Awards

Published . By Katie Kirwan.

In a very exciting day for eating out, The National Restaurant Awards 2026 winners have been revealed, and there's a new name at the top. Bouchon Racine, the Clerkenwell bistro from Henry Harris, has been crowned the best restaurant in the UK, knocking The Ritz off the top spot it claimed just last year.

The full list of 100 is as eclectic and wide-ranging as ever. Plenty of returning favourites hold their ground, including The Ledbury, Ynyshir, Kiln, but there are some notable new entrants, significant climbers, and some big names that have dropped out entirely. And while London continues to dominate, the list spans Bristol, Manchester, Edinburgh, Sheffield, Belfast and beyond, making the case (as it does every year) that the UK's restaurant scene is about far more than the capital.
