The Michelin Star<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0is perhaps the most coveted award by restaurants<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0around the world. The Michelin Guide<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0recognizes what is best done, across the cuisine, by attesting to the quality of restaurants<\/a>\u00a0worldwide.<\/p>\n

Winning and keeping a Michelin Star is the dream of many cuisine professionals<\/b><\/strong>. Although some trends tend to devalue this award, achieving it is still a synonym for the recognition of a work of excellence<\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What is the origin of the Michelin Star award?<\/h2>\n

Michelin<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0is the brand name of a well-known French tire producer. At the beginning of the 20th<\/sup>\u00a0century, Michelin launched its first itinerary, with the best restaurants<\/b><\/strong>. The aim was to encourage trips on French roads, aiming to visit the awarded establishments.<\/p>\n

It was from 1926 that the guide began to assign Stars<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0to the prominent restaurants. Firstly, the highest rating was a Michelin Star. Later, in 1931, they were awarded between one and three Stars to the best restaurant spots<\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Who are the Michelin inspectors?<\/h2>\n

To this day, the process by which restaurants are evaluated<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0is maintained. The so-called Michelin inspectors<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0gather teams of mystery shoppers who determine food quality and service across the establishments.<\/p>\n

These inspectors are professionals passionate about gastronomy<\/b><\/strong>. It is thought to be about 80 in the world. The evaluation of a restaurant is done anonymously and according to several criteria, little known. It is known, however, that the most important point of their appreciation is the quality of the dishes<\/b><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
