Since the first restaurant star rating in 1926, the Michelin Guide has been regarded as an international benchmark for fine dining over the past 90 years. The guide applies strict and consistent evaluation standards globally, with anonymous Michelin inspectors carefully selecting the entries. To evaluate a restaurant, inspectors adhere to Michelin’s five key criteria: quality of ingredients, mastery of cooking techniques and flavor harmony, the chef’s personality and creativity as expressed in the dishes, value for money, and consistency across all dishes.
