A vegan restaurant in London has become the first ever to be awarded a Michelin star.
Several other restaurants, including one serving The Ritz hotel in London, were also awarded stars at a ceremony in Glasgow on Monday.
In all, nine restaurants in the capital received their first star, which included Plates London, on Old Street, which serves a fully plant-based menu.
Chef Kirk Haworth impressed judges by “taking his classical training and inventively adapting it to a vegan diet”, Michelin said.
