What does it mean when a restaurant has a Michelin Star?

The Michelin guide is the most highly recognised restaurant award, with over 2,500 Michelin star restaurants around the world.

The Michelin guide was started in the early 20th century by none other than the Michelin brothers. Yes, the tyre company! The guide coincided with the rise of use in automobiles, encouraging vehicle users to travel around France to restaurants and hotels (and of course mechanics and petrol stations). It was developed with the view that people would inevitably want to buy more tyres the more they travelled.

The first Michelin Star ratings came in 1926 and the ratings expanded to two and three stars in 1931. As of today, the Michelin Guide rates restaurants across the globe. It also includes the Bib Gourmand rating for more moderately priced but equally good food, and the Michelin Plate which highlights a restaurant on its way towards earning a star.
