Michelin Stars, Bib Gourmand, and Selected: What Each Distinction Actually Means for Your Dinner
The Michelin Guide offers three main distinctions: Stars for culinary excellence, Bib Gourmand for good food at great value, and MICHELIN Selected for quality recommendations. All are based on rigorous, anonymous inspections using the same five universal criteria, with distinctions re-evaluated annually.
