As the hallmark of a fine dining experience, the Michelin Guide is a prestigious rating system that identifies the top restaurants in the world. Initially meant to be used as a travel guide, Michelin’s three-star rating system indicates just how far out of your way you should go to visit each of these landmark restaurants.
- One star signifies “a very good restaurant” that you should definitely visit if you are in the area.
- Two stars are “excellent cooking that is worth a detour.”
- Three stars mean “exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey.”
Below is a comprehensive list of all of the Michelin-starred restaurants in the United States for when you plan your next cross-country road trip. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the way many restaurants operate, be sure to check each restaurant’s official website or Michelin Guide listing to find out what capacity they are serving in.
