Many of us are aware of Michelin start restaurants. It's the time know to increase your knowledge about this rating system. The Michelin guide is a series of annual guide books published by Michelin for over a dozen countries. It is also known as Michelin Red Guide, which awards the Michelin stars. This guide is famous among chefs, restaurateurs, culinary experts, and the dining public. It came into existence in 1900 by the Michelin Tyre Company and its main aim was to help people in traveling. With the passing time, it has developed into a tourist guide and finally converted into a gastronomy guide. The Guide Rogue sells about 1.2 million copies yearly in eight countries. The Michelin Star Restaurant System is very popular in Europe and most respected ranking system for high-quality cuisine restaurants.
Under the rating process, a team of qualified cuisine experts visit the Michelin-recommended establishments and decide whether or not they will go into the guide. They are fully determined to ensure full independence. For instance, they pay for the food their inspectors used. Michelin promotes creativity with the hospitality industry and avoid standardization by not creating a specific criterion for what constitutes the quality level required for the various start levels.
Michelin star restaurants are managed by high-level chefs who are also known as "celebrity chefs". The guide awards one to three stars to a small number of restaurants of excellent quality. It is often considered that a 3-start Michelin rating is almost rare. There are 26 "3-star" restaurants in the France and only 81 in the world.
Added to the ratings system, restaurants are also given a number of symbols next to their listing such as coins are given to restaurants that serve a menu for a certain price or less or the grapes are given to restaurants that serve a somewhat excellent variety of wine.
