As of the 2025 edition of the Michelin Guide, there are seven restaurants in Wales that have been awarded Michelin stars. The Michelin Guides have been published by the French tire manufacturer Michelin since 1900. Initially created to boost tire sales by motivating motorists to visit recommended dining establishments, these guides have evolved into a highly respected standard within the culinary world.

Restaurants are anonymously assessed several times by Michelin inspectors, each possessing a minimum of ten years’ experience. Their evaluations focus on five key factors: the quality of ingredients, skill in flavor and technique, the chef’s individual expression through their dishes, value for money, and consistency. After thorough reviews and considering input from both media and patrons, a consensus is reached to assign one to three stars. One star denotes "high-quality cooking, worth a stop," two stars signify "excellent cooking, worth a detour," and three stars reflect "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey." Stars are periodically re-evaluated and may be revoked if standards diminish.

Plas Bodegroes was the first restaurant in Wales to receive a Michelin star and maintained this accolade for 14 years while also being recognized as Welsh Restaurant of the Year. In 2025, Gorse became Cardiff’s inaugural Michelin-starred venue. The restaurant Ynyshir currently holds the greatest number of stars in Wales. The Welsh dining scene is reviewed as part of the broader Great Britain and Ireland Michelin Guide.
