As of the 2025 edition of the Michelin Guide, a total of seven establishments in Malaysia have been awarded Michelin stars. The Michelin Guides have been produced by the French tire manufacturer Michelin since 1900, initially created to boost tire sales by motivating increased automobile travel. Over the years, Michelin stars evolved into a symbol of outstanding culinary achievement.
Restaurants are assessed by anonymous inspectors who possess a minimum of ten years' experience, judging on five key aspects: quality of ingredients, skill in flavor and technique, the chef’s unique expression within the dining experience, value relative to price, and consistency over multiple visits. Inspectors generate their candidate lists from media coverage, reviews, and customer popularity before assigning one to three stars: one star signifies "high-quality cooking worth stopping for," two stars indicate "excellent cooking worth making a detour," and three stars denote "exceptional cuisine worth a special journey." These ratings are not permanent; restaurants undergo regular reassessments and may lose their stars if standards drop.
The Malaysia edition of the Michelin Guide debuted in December 2022 with its 2023 release, initially focusing on the cities of Kuala Lumpur and Penang.
