How do restaurants earn Michelin stars?
According to the guide’s website, the stars are awarded to restaurants based on these five criteria, verbatim:
- The quality of the ingredients
- The harmony of flavors
- The mastery of techniques
- The personality of the chef as expressed through their cuisine
- Consistency both across the menu and over time
Restaurants can be awarded up to three Michelin stars, each showing a higher level of quality than the previous.
According to the guide, a one-star restaurant uses top-quality ingredients with distinct flavors and dishes are consistently high quality.
A second star is awarded when the personality and talent of the chef are apparent in the food.
Lastly, a third star signifies food made by chefs at the “peak of their profession,” according to the guide.
“Their cooking is elevated to an art form and some of their dishes are destined to become classics,” the guide explains on its website.
So, who decides what restaurants will get stars? The Michelin Guide employs full-time anonymous “Michelin Inspectors” who have worked in the restaurant and hospitality business to eat at various restaurants and decide which ones are deserving of stars. Stars can be awarded to any style of restaurant, not just formal eateries.
The guide emphasizes that the stars are awarded to restaurants, not individual chefs. So, if a head chef leaves a Michelin Star restaurant and maintains the excellent quality of its food, the guide will not remove the star.
