A "Michelin-Starred" restaurant is an establishment that has been awarded stars by the Michelin Guide, a prestigious restaurant rating system. The guide evaluates restaurants based on factors such as the quality of ingredients, skill in preparation, and consistency. A restaurant can earn one, two, or three stars, with three stars indicating exceptional cuisine worth a special journey. Receiving a Michelin star is a significant achievement in the culinary world, often leading to increased recognition and business. The stars are awarded by anonymous inspectors who visit the restaurants, ensuring an unbiased assessment of the dining experience.
