Within Gastronomy, there are quite a few awards or recognition at the national, Latin American and WORLD level, among them is the most important one that before it arrived in Mexico and the USA it was only European, and if I’m talking about the Michelin Guide A quite important recognition in the gastronomic environment, as many professionals and students are unaware (myself included) what meaning and how much relevance the Michelin Star has Let’s first see how the Michelin Guide was created Its origins were quite humble and it did not begin as a reference guide as it is today. It was conceived as an incentive to invite motorists to take to the road.

Ultimately it had a great vision, when it all began in the center of France, in 1889 the brothers André and Edouard Michelin founded the Michelin tire company, encouraged by a positive forecast in the industry in the country, which at that time had less than 3,000 vehicles. In support of the automotive industry and the development of the Michelin Group brand, they decided to provide motorists with a guide that would make their journey easier.

This is how the now famous MICHELIN Guide came about, André Michelin wrote: “This work appears century after century and will last as long as he does. It was free for 20 years, until André Michelin went to a tire shop and discovered that the guides were being used as shims for a stool, it was then that in 1920 he launched a new MICHELIN GUIDE at a price of 7 francs, in Mexico it would be 160 pesos It was not until 1923 that rubrics began to appear and the Michelin brothers, aware of the growing interest, recruited a team of mysterious diners, who are known as inspectors to visit and anonymously rate restaurants 3 years later they began to evaluate the quality of the establishments with stars, initially only 1 star was awarded, after 5 years, the hierarchy of 1, 2 or 3 stars was established and 10 years later the criteria applied for the granting of said stars were published awards.

Currently, the Guide is a world reference in the field of gastronomy, and that’s why, in addition to learning the history of the Michelin Guide, we’re going to clarify some questions that are surely echoing in your head as they were in mine: What is a Michelin Star? Recognition awarded to a restaurant that offers exceptional cuisine. 5 criteria are taken into account: quality of ingredients, harmony of flavors, mastery of technique, the chef’s personality reflected in their cuisine, and consistency over time and in the overall proposal. Can any restaurant qualify for a Michelin Star? Of course, no matter the style and type of cuisine, they can opt for a Michelin Star.

Are the Michelin Stars awarded to the chef or the restaurant? They are awarded to the restaurant. If the restaurant upgrades the sous chef or changes the chef, they will simply return to the restaurant and rectify if they continue cooking with the same seasoning. Is there a limit to the number of stars awarded per year? No, they usually have several candidates during the same year, but not all of them usually win due to a lack of irregularities. Being that they have 1 or 2 star dishes but the rest of their menu is not remarkable.

Are Michelin stars only awarded to formal or elegant restaurants? No, 30 or 40 years ago in most European cities the best type of cuisine was found in formal restaurants, today there are street food establishments in Asia that qualify for the Michelin star.

What are the differences between 1, 2 or 3 Michelin stars?
1 Michelin Star: indicates a high level of cuisine
2 Michelin Stars, indicates exceptional cuisine
3 Michelin Stars are the highest distinction and are reserved for unique restaurants In short, there are endless doubts that arise about the Michelin
Passionate consumers of gastronomy, to investigate much more about this important recognition worldwide and now in Mexico as well.

Mexico hosted the prestigious Michelin Guide 2025 for the second time on Tuesday, June 3rd, in a ceremony in which 23 restaurants were awarded the coveted stars for the first and second time.
