Here Are the Miami Restaurants Included in Florida’s Michelin Guide 2023

This evening, LoanDepot Park was the site of the official announcement of the restaurants that would be included in the second annual Florida Michelin Guide. The 2023 guide covers restaurants in Miami, Orlando, and Tampa.

Though last year’s ceremony was held at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, hosting the event at a ballpark makes more sense. After all, a Michelin star – or two or three – is the culinary equivalent of hitting a home run for the chefs and restaurateurs who work tirelessly to earn these distinctions.

The Michelin Guide was established in Europe when the Michelin tire company published a series of guidebooks in 1900 that listed places for new motorists to visit. The first guide that used a star rating system for rating restaurants came out in 1926. The guide has evolved into a mark of excellence for diners who seek out Michelin-starred restaurants in their quest for the perfect meal. In turn, entry into the guide signifies that a restaurateur has made an indelible mark on the restaurant community.

The Florida Guide, which joins only a handful of guides in the U.S., including New York City, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and California, is broken down into a rating scale of one to three stars. Last year, ten Miami restaurants received one star, with only L’Atelier de JoÁ«l Robuchon earning two stars.

In addition, many restaurants are awarded the Bib Gourmand designation, which according to Michelin “offers a meal of good quality at a good value.” Restaurants considered worthy of inclusion in the guide but not fitting into the above categories receive a Plate designation.
