As 2017 draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on the comings and going in the world of the Michelin Guide over the past year.
Bangkok received its first ever Michelin Guide, with Taipei soon to follow, while Tokyo remains the city with the most Michelin-starred restaurants in the world – an astonishing 234.
In France, chef Yannick Alléno is now the proud patron of two, three-Michelin star restaurants, while over in the US, San Francisco is staking a claim as the best place to eat in America, with seven three-Michelin-star restaurants, two more than New York, which recently saw one of its most famous three-star restaurants, Jean-Georges, demoted to two.
2017 saw the release of 22 different guides in total, with 11 new restaurants receiving Michelin’s highest honour of three stars. Here are dishes from all but one of them (unfortunately no pics available for Lida in Kyoto).
