What is Michelin star?

Michelin star is one of one of the main characteristics that helps you to choose the restaurant, worthy of your attention. Only the most exquisite and popular restaurants with the best design, menu and amazing price/quality ratio can become the lucky owners of this award.

So, where it all started? At the beginning of the XX century the French engineer Andre Michelin released some kind of “guide to the French restaurants” to help the keen motorist choose the best restaurant to visit during the travel. That’s when the famous “stars” appeared in front of these establishments. In our time, the guide of Michelin is still relevant, except that now the Michelin star can be awarded not only to the restaurants, but also to the individual chefs.

The highest degree of award is 3 stars. 3-star restaurant is the establishment that deserves special attention. This means that the menu, interior and service of the restaurant is at the top level. Usually, visits to such places requires reservation (at least one month in advance), as there are plenty of tourists who want to get there. 2 stars show that this establishment offers high-quality cuisine and pleasant atmosphere. Even the restaurants with 1 Michelin star are worthy of your time and attention. Here you can taste the best dishes of the local cuisine and receive excellent service.

If the chef (and not the restaurant) was awarded by Michelin star, it makes him an invaluable worker every restaurant wants to employ.

You should remember that visit to the Michelin restaurants is not a casual pleasure but a real luxury. Here the prices are really high, and the servings- small. However, tasting dishes in the Michelin restaurants will leave an unforgettable impression from the exciting gastronomic experience.
