Michelin Star Restaurants

Understand michelin star restaurants: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.

Michelin stars belong to restaurants, not to countries as a whole. Guide coverage is selective, so an unlisted destination is not evidence that its food is inferior. A restaurant with three stars can be counted as one starred restaurant or three stars, producing different totals. The edition date matters because selections and ratings change.
