HOW WERE THE MICHELIN GUIDE RESTAURANTS SELECTED?
Since The Michelin Guide Texas announcement, undercover inspectors have been quietly dining across the state, booking tables under assumed names and footing their own bills to guarantee an authentic, unfiltered experience — just like any other guest.
The inspectors are full-time Michelin employees and rate their experience according to five publicly acknowledged assessment criteria:
- Quality of the products
- Mastery of flavor and cooking techniques
- The personality of the chef in his or her cuisine
- Value for money
- Consistency between visits
What Restaurants Can Win
- Green Star: highlights restaurants with notable sustainable practices
- Exceptional cocktail: given to restaurants with quality cocktail programs
- Recommended: inspectors recommend these restaurants
- Bib Gourmand: given to restaurants that offer high-quality food at a reasonable price
- One star: a very good restaurant
- Two stars: excellent cooking that is worth a detour
- Three stars: exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey
As Local Profile previously reported, Tatsu in Dallas received a Michelin star, making it the sole restaurant in DFW to achieve that honor. The highest rating Michelin gives is three stars.
