The Michelin Guide has awarded the Culture Restaurant in Falmouth a green star in its Great Britain & Ireland 2023 edition.

It was only at the start of March that we shared the news that the Culture Restaurant was added to the Michelin Guide as part of the Michelin Inspectors' Favourite New Restaurants for February.

Now the full 2023 edition has been released deciding which restaurants have made the cut for the coveted Michelin stars.

Although the Culture Restaurant may not have picked up a Michelin star, they have been awarded a green star for their sustainable practices.

The green star was added to the Michelin Guide in 2021, on their website they describe why a business may receive a star, they said: "These restaurants offer dining experiences that combine culinary excellence with outstanding eco-friendly commitments, and are a source of inspiration both for keen foodies and the hospitality industry as a whole.

"Every Green Star restaurant is different and works in its own unique way – but all make a difference to the world around them and act as role models to us all."

There were three other restaurants also awarded green stars, Apricity in London, Osip in Bruton Somerset, and Crocadon in St Mellion Cornwall.

The Michelin Guide also gave a description of why each restaurant had been awarded a green star, here is what they had to say about Culture: "When setting up CULTURE, sustainability was certainly to the fore: the team refurbished the old tables from the previous restaurant; their granite pass-top was quarried at a site less than 3 miles away; and their plates were made just down the street and then delivered by foot.

"They run their kitchen using only electric and induction, as well as charcoal produced by a forest management team. They also buy directly from farmers who focus on regenerative farming practices with minimal intervention and educate their guests to help pave the way for local food heroes."
