Michelin Stars are prestigious awards given to restaurants by the Michelin Guide, a renowned restaurant and hotel rating system. Established in 1900 by the Michelin tire company, the guide originally aimed to encourage road travel and promote dining options. Restaurants can earn one to three stars based on the quality of their food, service, and overall experience. A restaurant with one star is considered "a very good restaurant," while two stars indicate "excellent cooking that is worth a detour." The highest accolade, three stars, signifies "exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey." Earning a Michelin Star can significantly enhance a restaurant's reputation and success.
