With the closure of The Crown earlier this year, Wales has just three Michelin starred restaurants.<\/p>\n

September saw the publication of the latest Michelin Guide but only three Welsh eateries made it into the 2014 edition. The Walnut Tree, Tyddyn Llan and The Checkers all managed to retain their coveted stars.<\/p>\n
