Michelin has signed an agreement to divest its UK-booking platform Bookatable to TheFork. This transaction will expand TheFork’s presence into the UK, Germany, Austria, Finland and Norway markets.

Through this acquisition, 14,000 restaurants on Bookatable will be added to the existing 67,000 restaurants on TheFork.

Financial terms of the deal have not been disclosed by the entities.

Michelin Group executive committee member Scott Clark said: “With our more than 120 years of experience making gastronomic guides which provide restaurant recommendations based on independent, expert inspectors, this strategic partnership between Michelin and TripAdvisor will offer unprecedented visibility to the establishments listed in the Michelin Guide selections around the world.

“By combining the Michelin Guide’s unique restaurant curation and selection criteria, with TripAdvisor’s comprehensive travel planning platform, we will be able to make the Michelin Guide’s selections accessible to a much larger number of diners around the world.”
