As of April 2022, more than 20 Michelin-starred restaurants call Chicago home, and if you haven’t tried one, you’re missing out on an unmatched culinary experience.
The original French guidebook that launched in 1889, Michelin rates fine dining establishments all over the world and awards between one and three stars to those lucky few restaurants that meet its sky-high standards. Restaurants are rated solely on cuisine (not decor, for example) and on five key criteria: quality of products, mastery of flavor/cooking techniques, personality of the chef, value for money, and consistency.
