Last night, the GMCVB celebrated the release of the first-ever MICHELIN Guide Miami, Orlando and Tampa during a live ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando where Greater Miami and Miami Beach were awarded 11 of the 15 new MICHELIN Stars, including the only Two-MICHELIN-Star restaurant, L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon Miami.
Twenty-nine restaurants in the three cities were honored with the Bib Gourmand designation, and Miami had the only restaurants who received special awards in the Sommelier of the Year and Exceptional Cocktails categories. In total, 65 restaurants in Greater Miami and Miami Beach were recognized, representing more than half of all the restaurants in the new Florida MICHELIN guide.
The ceremony follows the announcement made last November by the GMCVB and the state’s leading tourism entities to partner with MICHELIN and bring the prestigious culinary guide to Florida.
The MICHELIN Guide conveys its restaurant reviews through an extensive system of distinctions. The MICHELIN awards are considered the very best in each city and provide immense prestige and honor to local restaurants and chefs. Inspectors award One, Two or Three stars to exceptional restaurants. One Star is awarded for "high quality cooking that is worth a stop," Two Stars are awarded for "excellent cooking that is worth a detour," and Three Stars are awarded for cuisine that is “worth a special journey.”
The Guide not only recognizes restaurants that are awarded star ratings, but also categories such as the Bib Gourmand, which recognizes restaurants that serve great food at an affordable price, and the MICHELIN Green Star, given to restaurants involved in sustainable gastronomy. The full 2022 selection of the MICHELIN Guide Miami restaurants will be available on the Michelin Guide website, and on the MICHELIN Guide App.
