Europe's Michelin Stars

The Michelin Star, the world-famous taste evaluation authority that entered our lives as a guide, has become an award that all chefs around the world set a goal to show themselves.

Michelin Star and Guide

Michelin Stars are true ratings given to restaurants by the Michelin Guide for service and food quality. In 1900, the Michelin Guide was developed to guide French drivers about the nearest amenities such as mechanics and restaurants.

In 1926, the rating system was started as a single star, and in 1933 the second and third stars were used. The guide describes one star as 'very good Michelin restaurants in the area', two stars for 'excellent cooking' and three stars for 'an outstanding meal worth a visit'. Michelin restaurants, whose restaurant list is updated every year, are evaluated according to the mastery of the chefs and the quality of the food. An award-winning restaurant provides guests with a great dining experience.
