Starting with the 2025 edition of the Michelin Guide, Argentina proudly joins the ranks of countries recognized by this esteemed international culinary rating, boasting a total of 10 restaurants awarded Michelin stars.
Since its inception in 1900 by the French tire manufacturer Michelin, the Michelin Guides were initially created to encourage tire sales by suggesting quality dining establishments to motorists. Over the years, the Michelin star system has become a definitive benchmark for outstanding restaurant quality.
Restaurants are assessed by anonymous inspectors, each possessing a minimum of ten years’ experience, who judge establishments based on five key factors: ingredient quality, expertise in flavor and technique, the chef’s unique influence on the dining experience, value relative to price, and consistency over multiple visits. These inspectors generate their selections drawing from media coverage, critical reviews, and customer popularity. The rating system awards one to three stars: one star denotes "high-quality cooking worth stopping for"; two stars signify "excellent cuisine worth making a detour to experience"; and three stars represent "exceptional dining worthy of a special journey." Star statuses are subject to regular reassessment and may be revoked if standards diminish.
Argentina is distinguished as the first Hispanic Latin American nation to be included in the Michelin Guide, with its initial edition announced in November 2023 covering the 2024 guide year.
