Understanding Michelin Star Ratings
Michelin inspectors evaluate restaurants using five universal criteria: ingredient quality, flavour harmony, mastery of techniques, chef personality in cuisine, and consistency over time. A single star denotes high-quality cooking, worth a stop, two stars indicate excellent cooking, worth a detour, and three stars represent exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey, reserved for the world's best.
