what does Michelin restaurant mean?

Michelin starred restaurants refers to the restaurants listed in Michelin Red Guide. In 1911, the founder of Michelin Company, a French tire manufacturer, published the Michelin Guide with the size of a portable manual, in which the red cover edition was the evaluation of restaurants and hotels along the way, and the green cover edition was the contents of travel itinerary planning, scenic spot recommendation, road guidance, etc. The Michelin Red Guide with red cover is the most influential. The guide evaluates and grades restaurants every year, and the restaurants included in it are Michelin restaurants.

A restaurant listed in Michelin Guide must first get a knife and fork mark, which is the basic evaluation standard for restaurants in the guide, ranging from the highest 5 pairs to 1 pairs, mainly indicating the comfort of restaurants.

Michelin stars are judged by a group of screened "food spies", who are called "inspectors". Every time an inspector goes to a restaurant or hotel to judge, he needs to hide his identity and sneak into the accommodation and taste. The scoring items they need to refer to include food (61%), dining environment (21%), service (11%) and wine collocation (11%).
