"The Michelin Guide, first published in 1900 by the French tyre company Michelin, rates restaurants across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Anonymous, full-time Michelin inspectors assess restaurants on ingredient quality, technique, the chef's personality in the cuisine, value for money, and consistency. Ambience and service are not formally part of the star criteria.

Restaurants are awarded between one and three stars, with one being the lowest and three the highest. They are reassessed regularly and can gain or lose stars.
