The anonymous MICHELIN Guide Inspectors award the iconic MICHELIN Stars – one, two, or three – to the finest dining experiences. The Guide also includes the Bib Gourmand selection, recognizing restaurants that offer great quality food at good value. The MICHELIN Green Star is awarded to restaurants leading the way in sustainable gastronomy. Additionally, recommended restaurants and special professional awards are highlighted by the Inspectors.
The MICHELIN Guide’s anonymous Inspectors are already in the field, making secret dining reservations and paying for all their meals to ensure they receive the same experience as any other customer.
The MICHELIN Guide is constantly observing the evolution of culinary destinations around the world. The MICHELIN Guide selection process remains completely independent. While selections remain fully independently determined by anonymous Inspectors, the MICHELIN Guide is working with the Alliance solely on marketing and promotion activities.
History and Methodology
The upcoming Czechia restaurant selection will follow Michelin’s traditional methodology, based on five universal criteria, ensuring fairness and consistency:
Quality of the products ;
The harmony of flavors ;
Mastery of cooking techniques ;
The chef’s personality as reflected in the cuisine ;
Consistency between visits and across the menu (each restaurant is inspected multiple times a year).
The MICHELIN Guide continues more than ever to be a trusted resource for travelers seeking exceptional dining experiences. First published in France at the turn of the 20th century, the Guide originally served to encourage car travel. Today, Michelin’s Inspectors still use the same selection criteria as in the beginning, applied in destinations around the world.
