On Thursday, April 18, the Tampa Edition was the site of the official announcement of the newly awarded restaurants included in the third annual Florida Michelin Guide, which covers restaurants in Miami, Orlando, and Tampa.
For the third year running, L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Miami remained Florida's only two-star Michelin restaurant.
The Den at Azabu lost its Michelin star. However, it will remain as a recommended restaurant in the Florida Michelin Guide. Lung Yai Thai Tapas in Little Havana lost its Michelin Bib Gourmand title, but it also remains on the Florida Michelin Guide as a recommended restaurant.
Perhaps the biggest news: On April 11, Tâm Tâm in downtown Miami was designated a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant. Now the restaurant can add Florida Michelin Guide's "Young Chef Award" to its résumé: Tam Pham.
Shingo in Coral Gables received one 2024 Michelin star under chef Shingo Akikuni.

Postscript
The variety of restaurants Michelin chose in 2024 — they range from Vietnamese and Peruvian to Japanese and contemporary American — aptly reflects Miami's dining scene.The Florida Guide is one of a handful of entries in Michelin's U.S. expansion, which now includes New York City, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Colorado, and California.
A restaurant may be awarded one to three stars or designated as a Bib Gourmand establishment, which indicates exceptional value for a three-course meal.
The Michelin Guide was established in Europe more than a century ago, when the Michelin tire company published a series of guidebooks in 1900 that listed places for new motorists to visit. Stars were added to the guide in 1926.
