Since 1900, the Michelin guide has listed good restaurants. Originally, the guide was offered to car drivers, it indicated railway stations, post offices, doctors, pharmacists, hotels and restaurants. If at the beginning, the stars indicated the price category of the restaurants, they did not take long to represent the quality of the establishment on the following basis: one star means excellent cuisine in its category, two stars indicate a table that is worth a detour. , and finally, three stars highlight exceptional cuisine, a table that is worth the trip.

Historically, the Michelin guide therefore indicated the best restaurants for drivers who traveled the roads of France. This is still true: a large number of houses are still near the national 7, a very busy road, linking Paris to the South of France. Many of today’s 3 stars are the legacy of ancestral houses taken over by the younger generation, like Maison Pic, Lameloise, Maison Troisgros…

Since its phenomenal success, the red guide is represented in 32 countries such as France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, the United Kingdom or the Ireland, but also across the Atlantic, in New York or Washington, and in Asia such as Tokyo, with dedicated editions. In Asia, the Michelin Guide is in Shanghai, Japan, Hong Kong/Macau, Singapore, South Korea with Seoul and Taipei.
