The Michelin Guides have been issued by the French tire manufacturer Michelin since 1900. Initially designed to boost tire sales by motivating people to drive more, these guides gradually transformed into esteemed restaurant rating systems. Anonymous Michelin inspectors assess dining establishments based on five key factors: "quality of ingredients," "expertise in flavor and culinary techniques," "chef’s individual style," "value for the price," and "consistency." Each inspector possesses a minimum of ten years’ experience and relies on various sources such as media coverage, critical reviews, and customer popularity to make their judgments. Restaurants may receive one to three stars: a single star denotes "high-quality cuisine, worth a stop," two stars indicate "excellent cooking, worth a detour," and three stars represent "exceptional gastronomy, worth a special trip." These star ratings are periodically re-evaluated, and establishments may lose stars if their standards fall.
The Michelin Guide expanded into the Brazilan market in 2015 and has been published annually except during 2021 to 2023. Its coverage is currently limited to the Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo areas. By the 2025 edition, 25 restaurants in Brazil have been awarded Michelin stars, underscoring the guide’s continued role in recognizing culinary achievement within these prominent regions.
