Louisiana cuisine showcased in first US regional Michelin guide

The Louisiana Office of Tourism announced Louisiana is joining six southern states to participate in the upcoming Michelin Guide American South.
The new regional food guide will highlight Louisiana’s diverse culinary.
This will be Michelin’s first regional guide in North America.
The Michelin Guide awards stars to highlight the very best restaurants in each guide.
It awards restaurants with one-three stars based on their food quality, presentation, service and other factors
“One of the many reasons people visit our great state is because of the food. We have some of the freshest seafood and our Cajun and Creole cultures serve up dishes unique to Louisiana. It’s another way to Feed Your Soul when you visit,” said Louisiana Office of Tourism Assistant Secretary Doug Bourgeois.
Through this regional approach, Michelin is going beyond major cities to explore the wider region’s authentic food culture.
Travel South USA, the largest regional tourism promotion organization, and participating state tourism offices will collaborate on marketing efforts to promote authentic southern cuisine.
“As we celebrate the ‘Year of Food,’ this is just one more way we can highlight how special our food, history, and culture are to the rest of the world,” Bourgeois added.
Other participating states include Alabama, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, in addition to the existing Atlanta Guide.
The full 2025 restaurant selection will be revealed later this year during the annual Michelin Guide Ceremony for the American South.
