The full list of restaurants to achieve rosettes in the AA Restaurant Guide 2018 will be presented at the AA Hospitality Awards held at Grovesnor House on Park Lane on September 25, 2018.

In order to gain a coveted rosette in the AA Hotel, Restaurant and Pub Guides, restaurants need to show true skill and understanding when prepping food as well as using fresh ingredients in all of their dishes.

Who are the new five AA Rosette restaurants in the AA Restaurant Guide 2018?

At the beginning of the year, Michel Wignall of the two Michelin starred Gidleigh Park was awarded five rosettes from the AA Restaurant Guide. This was the first time five rosettes had been awarded in January in the guide's longstanding history.

Joining Michael were Bohemia in Jersey and Ynyshir Restaurant with Rooms in Wales who also achieved five Rosettes.

To achieve five AA Rosettes, the restaurants are the pinnacle of the nation’s restaurants where the cooking compares with the best in the world and exhibit breathtaking culinary skills and set the standards to which others aspire to and yet few achieve.
