Michelin Guide adds new Florida locations

Wednesday, 05 Feb, 2025 0

The MICHELIN Guide is expanding its selection in Florida with three new destinations being added in 2025.

In addition to Miami, Orlando and Tampa, the 2025 selection will include restaurants in Greater Fort Lauderdale, The Palm Beaches and St. Pete-Clearwater.

Beginning in 2026, the selection will grow further to become a state-wide selection covering all of Florida.

“Florida continues to raise the bar with its emerging culinary talent and the passion of its local restaurant communities,” said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides.

“Over the past three years, we’ve seen the Florida selection grow and strengthen. We look forward to exploring these new destinations.”

The MICHELIN Guide’s anonymous Inspectors are already in the field, making dining reservations and scouting for restaurants to feature.

The full 2025 restaurant selection will be revealed at a later date during the annual MICHELIN Guide ceremony for Florida.

“The MICHELIN Guide’s expansion into three additional Florida destinations in 2025 and statewide in 2026 further cements the state as a premier culinary destination,” said Dana Young, President and CEO of Visit Florida.

The upcoming restaurant selection will follow Michelin’s historical methodology, based on five universal criteria, to ensure each destination’s selection equity: 1) quality products; 2) the harmony of flavors; 3) the mastery of cooking techniques; 4) the voice and personality of the chef as reflected in the cuisine; 5) consistency between each visit and throughout the menu.

Each restaurant is inspected several times a year.

Michelin announced its first North American Guide in 2005 for New York.

Guides have also been added in many cities such as Chicago, Washington, D.C, California (San Francisco in 2007, statewide 2019), and Miami/Orlando/Tampa, Florida.
