About the MICHELIN Guide

The iconic MICHELIN Guide showcases incredible dining experiences in culinary destinations. First created in 1900 as a guide for motorists exploring the French countryside, the guide has expanded to over 35 countries, awarding more than 3,275 of its prestigious Stars to top restaurants around the globe. Toronto joins the ranks for the second year in the row, adding 16 Stars and Canada as a destination on the MICHELIN Guide map.

How the MICHELIN Guide Selection Works

The MICHELIN Guide ratings are awarded by a group of expert inspectors, who are professional culinary critics trained in the MICHELIN Guide method. The inspectors are anonymous and behave like any other customer in the restaurant. They then use a consistent set of criteria to judge the quality of the establishment.

Restaurants may receive one, two or three MICHELIN Guide Stars based on five criteria:

1. Quality of ingredients 
2. Mastery of the cooking 
3. Harmony of the flavours 
4. Artistry of the Chef as reflected in the cuisine 
5. Consistency, both over time and across the entire menu

Beyond the Star ratings, MICHELIN Guide also awards Bib Gourmand, Recommended and Green Star recognitions.

 Three Stars—exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey

 Two Stars—excellent cooking, worth a detour

 One Star—high-quality cooking, worth a stop

 "Bib Gourmand"—good value cooking

 "MICHELIN Green Star"—commitment to commendable environmental practices, ingenuity reflected in the sustainable practices used in everyday work
