Michelin Guide restaurants around the world (with video)

Love dining at Michelin-starred restaurants when traveling? We've included the Michelin Guide restaurants we've visited around the world (some with videos).

French industrialists André Michelin and Édouard Michelin, the founders of Michelin tires, compiled the first Michelin Guide in 1900 to create demand for cars and thus more Michelin tires .

Since its expansion in Europe in 1911, the Michelin Guide has continuously expanded its reach and now covers 43 countries in Europe, Asia, North and South America.

As a traveling foodie and someone who travels long distances to try Michelin Guide restaurants, I always enjoy these gastronomic experiences, some of which are unlike others you'll experience.

In fact, the meal that changed my life was at a three Michelin star restaurant.

Michelin dining has become a category of its own in the gastronomic world due to its unique concepts and immersive storytelling, and it's always fun to compare how different destinations and restaurants fare.

What does a Michelin star rating mean?

did you know? Any restaurant in the Michelin Guide, whether a Star, Bib Gourmand or Recommended, can have its current designation raised or lowered, including being removed from the guide.

This coincides with the annual Michelin Guide Awards Ceremony.

Many people are looking for delicious restaurants, especially when traveling, but some countries have more Michelin-starred restaurants than others. France tops the list with 632 Michelin-starred restaurants.

Of these, 74 have received at least two stars and 29 have achieved the prestigious three-star rating. Three Michelin stars are the highest honor a restaurant can receive and require tremendous effort and exceptional quality.
