List of Michelin 3-star restaurants in the United States

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article contains a complete list of Michelin 3-star restaurants in the United States. Michelin stars are a rating system used by the red Michelin Guide to grade restaurants on their quality. The guide was originally developed in 1900 to show French drivers where local amenities such as restaurants and mechanics were. The rating system was first introduced in 1926 as a single star, with the second and third stars introduced in 1933.[1] According to the Guide, one star signifies "a very good restaurant", two stars are "excellent cooking that is worth a detour", and three stars mean "exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey".[2] The listing of starred restaurants is updated once per year.

The Michelin Guide began reviewing restaurants in the United States in 2005 beginning with New York City. In subsequent years, Michelin expanded its reviews to other major US cities.[3]

As of the 2023 Michelin Guide, there are 13 restaurants in the US with a rating of 3 Michelin stars.[4]
