With Toronto’s growing list of Michelin Recommended restaurants, have you ever wondered what that rating actually means?
Do People Care?
Getting just one Michelin Star can change a restaurant’s game. Chefs chase it, foodies trust it, and even being mentioned in the Michelin Guide? A flex.
Where Did the Whole Michelin Thing Start?
So, where did this whole system come from?
It started in 1900 — by the Michelin tire company, believe it or not — to encourage people to drive more (and, you guessed it, buy more tires).
What makes it so respected?
Anonymous inspections, Strict criteria and Hidden inspector identities.
The Maximum rating?
3 stars.
The Requirements?
Quality, technique, creativity, value, consistency
