Michelin has logged 19 new additions to its Florida Michelin Guide, including eight Miami-area restaurants, ahead of its annual awards ceremony, set for April 18 in Tampa.

Although the precise designations won't be announced until the ceremony, these eight spots have a good chance of snagging a coveted star.

Regardless of what you think of Michelin's modus operandi, the variety of restaurants Michelin chose — ranging from Vietnamese and Peruvian to Japanese and contemporary American — aptly reflects Miami's dining scene.

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.

The Florida Guide is one of a handful of Michelin's U.S. expansion, which has grown to include 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 (indicating exceptional value for a three-course meal).
