List of Michelin-starred restaurants in Florida
,_Design_District,_Miami,_Florida.jpg)
As of the 2024 guide, there are 26 restaurants in Florida with a Michelin-star rating. Florida's culinary scene is highlighted by the 2-star L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon along with the 1-star Victoria & Albert's, the first Michelin-starred restaurant at a theme park.[1]
The Michelin Guides have been published by the French tire company Michelin since 1900. They were designed as a guide to tell drivers about eateries they recommended to visit and to subtly sponsor their tires, by encouraging drivers to use their cars more and therefore need to replace the tires as they wore out. Over time, the stars that were given out started to become more valuable.[2]
Multiple anonymous Michelin inspectors visit the restaurants several times. They rate the restaurants on five criteria: "quality of products", "mastery of flavor and cooking techniques", "the personality of the chef represented in the dining experience", "value for money", and "consistency between inspectors' visits".[2][3] Inspectors have at least ten years of expertise and create a list of popular restaurants supported by media reports, reviews, and diner popularity. If they reach a consensus, Michelin awards restaurants from one to three stars based on its evaluation methodology: One star means "high-quality cooking, worth a stop", two stars signify "excellent cooking, worth a detour", and three stars denote "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey".[4] The stars are not permanent and restaurants are constantly being re-evaluated. If the criteria are not met, the restaurant will lose its stars.[2]
The Florida Michelin guide announced its first list of restaurants on June 9, 2022, after striking a deal the year prior with the tourism board in the state of Florida as well as local tourism boards in Miami, Orlando and Tampa metro areas, the areas specifically covered by the Michelin Guide.[5][6][7][8] The state of Florida paid $150,000 per year, with the three markets contributing another $348,000 per year.[9][10]
