Michelin

Starred restaurant ratings

Michelin is a French tire manufacturer, one of the largest in the world, but the name is most familiar from its rating system for restaurants and hotels.

A Michelin star is among the highest accolades a restaurant can receive, with three stars representing exceptional cuisine worth a special journey.

The Michelin Guide originated in 1900 as a travel resource for motorists, encouraging road trips that would wear out tires.

That new bistro just earned its first Michelin star.
