List of Michelin 3-star restaurants in the United States
This article provides a compilation of Michelin 3-star establishments located in the United States. The prestigious Michelin stars, presented by the renowned red Michelin Guide, serve as a benchmark for restaurant excellence. Originating in 1926 with the introduction of a single star, the rating system expanded in 1933 to include second and third stars. A single star represents "a very good restaurant," two stars indicate "excellent cooking worth a detour," while three stars reflect "exceptional cuisine worth a special journey." These ratings are refreshed annually.
The Michelin Guide commenced its evaluation of American dining venues in 2005, starting with New York City and subsequently broadening its scope to other prominent urban centers.
As per the 2025 edition of the Guide, there are 16 restaurants across the United States awarded the coveted 3 Michelin stars.
