Experienced, anonymous inspectors carefully select restaurants, utilizing the celebrated Michelin food star-rating system. A reference section shows how to navigate the guide and understand its descriptive symbols. Travelers can feel confident relying on Michelin since only the best make the cut.
Our famous one, two and three stars identify establishments serving the highest quality cuisine – taking into account the quality of ingredients, the mastery of technique and flavors, the levels of creativity and, of course, consistency. In addition, the Bib Gourmand symbol (also known as the inspectors' favorites) highlights restaurants offering good quality at a good value. Bib Gourmands are awarded for great food under 32€ (36€ in Paris for three courses.)
