Established in 1888, Michelin is a world-famous French tire company. In 1900, the company released the Michelin Guide. At that time, the handbook was just a map with a list of hotels and Michelin tire change locations. From 1920, the company stopped giving out free books and added restaurant listings to this guide book. Then, Michelin recruited culinary inspectors to check the quality of the restaurants. Since 1930, there have been lists of Michelin-starred restaurants.
Michelin rating criteria based on the quality of products, mastery of flavour and cooking techniques, the personality of the chef represented in the dining experience, a harmony of the flavours and consistency between inspectors’ visits.
The Michelin Guide has received a high response and appreciation from tourists and culinary experts. Being awarded a Michelin star is considered an honour for every restaurant in the world.
In addition to the culinary handbook, Michelin has developed an app so that visitors can easily access online./.
