The Greenhouse, Restaurant Story and Adam's Restaurant among new AA Rosette award winners
The Greenhouse, which picked up a second Michelin star with the release of the 2014 UK and Ireland guide last year, was the only restaurant to be awarded four AA rosettes.
AA Hotel Services manager Simon Numphud said the Mayfair restaurant, whose kitchen is overseen by Arnaud Bignon and is owned by the MARC group, was 'everything' the awarding body looked for in a four rosette restaurant.
"Namely a passion for excellence, superb technical kills and intense ambition as well as national recognition for its cooking," he said.
Eighteen restaurants, many of them earning their first Michelin star last year, received three rosettes.
"Restaurants serving food of a three rosette standard are worthy of recognition from well beyond their local area. I am delighted that these restaurants hail from such far-reaching parts of the country, and is a great demonstration that wherever you are in Great Britain you can find excellent AA rosetted restaurants," said Numphud.
