As of the 2025 edition of the Michelin Guide, Beijing features a total of 33 restaurants awarded Michelin stars. The Michelin Guides have been issued by the French tire manufacturer Michelin since 1900, originally created to boost tire sales by encouraging motorists to visit recommended dining establishments. Over the years, the Michelin star system has become a highly respected standard within the culinary world. Unlike certain regional editions developed in partnership with tourism authorities or other collaborators, the Washington, D.C. guide was expanded from pre-existing U.S. Michelin guides without external partnerships.
Michelin inspectors, who remain anonymous and possess a minimum of ten years’ experience, assess restaurants based on five key factors: quality of ingredients, skill in flavor and technique, the chef’s distinctive influence on the dining experience, value relative to price, and consistency across multiple visits. Inspectors generate candidate lists through analysis of media coverage, reviews, and consumer popularity. The star ratings range from one to three stars: one star denotes "high-quality cooking worth a stop," two stars indicate "excellent cuisine worth a detour," and three stars represent "exceptional food worth a special journey." These ratings are not fixed; restaurants are regularly re-assessed and can lose stars if standards decline. The inaugural Michelin Guide for Beijing was released in 2020.
