11 Florida restaurants have been added to the 2023 Michelin Guide.

The Michelin Guide was first published in 1900 in France. Michelin tire company created the guide to encourage people to take road trips and use their ties. Over time, the guide evolved into a restaurant review guide. Restaurants receive ratings based on several factors, including the quality of their food, the chef’s skills, the restaurant’s ambiance, and the quality of service.

How are restaurants rated for the guide?

Earning a Michelin star comes with a very high level of prestige. The Michelin Guide considers a restaurant for the guide only after a trusted source, such as a food critic, chef, or previous Michelin inspector, recommends it. A team then reviews the restaurant and assigns it a rating from one to three stars. A one-star rating means it has very good cuisine, while a two-star rating indicates excellent cuisine. The most exceptional restaurants, those worth a special journey, receive three stars. As one can imagine, a Michelin star can profoundly impact a restaurant’s reputation and business.

The 2023 Michelin guide has added 11 restaurants in Florida, located in both Orlando and Tampa. Gwendal Poullennec is the International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. She said in a statement: “Florida’s finest flavors continue to impress the inspectors, who have enjoyed their visits to the Sunshine State. The restaurant teams are clearly inspired to serve the most delectable cuisine to food lovers – day in and day out. We are excited to celebrate their accomplishments and can’t wait to share those new discoveries with gourmets and travelers.”
