Michelin Guide is the rating standard of Michelin restaurants, which only lists the address, telephone number, chef's name, basic consumption, two famous local wines, three signature dishes, annual rest time of the restaurant and the types of credit cards accepted. It was not until 2000 that simple comments were added for the first time. The symbols for introducing restaurants are as follows:
(1) comprehensive score
Spork was given one to five spork symbols in the performance in the restaurant.
Five forks and spoons: luxurious traditional style
Four forks and spoons: extremely comfortable.
3 forks and spoons: Very comfortable.
2 forks and spoons: comfortable
1 forks and spoons: basic comfort
If the restaurant is particularly pleasant and laid-back, the spork sign in front will be red instead of black.
(2) Head logo
Head means BibGourmand(Bib recommended by Michelin (Bib is the name of Michelin tire man). The food is good and the price is right.
(3) Two coins
This sign is called piecettes, which means small coin. A restaurant with this logo means to provide light meals not exceeding 16 euros.
The sign of the intersection of spoons and forks was designed in 193 1 year to indicate the level of restaurants, and later stars were used as the sign of the highest level of catering.
(4) star rating
There is no correlation between the star and the fork, but the star is much more important than the fork.
1 star: a good restaurant worth stopping at (this statement is of course because Michelin makes tires);
2 stars: first-class cooking, providing excellent food and wine matching, it is worth a detour, but the cost is not low;
3-star: Perfect top-level cooking is worth a special trip. You can enjoy first-class food, excellent table wine, perfect service and elegant dining environment, but it costs a lot of money.

(3) America
As a representative of the United States, the first edition of Michelin Guide was first published in 2005, when most restaurants in new york were included. Then, restaurants in San Francisco and Chicago were gradually recognized by Michelin. Because the United States is mostly an immigrant country, and the dishes refer to European style, a new series of western food has been derived, which has spread the wind of western food all over the world.
(4) Asia
In 2007, meticulous Japanese cuisine won Michelin's first attention in Asia, and then food detectives began to set foot in Hongkong and Macau in China. As the meeting point of Chinese and Western cultures, restaurants in Hong Kong and Macau quickly won the title of star Michelin restaurant. Japanese cuisine is recognized as an international delicacy with fine cooking.

Sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, miso, firewood fish and kelp are commonly used as the main seasonings, and the taste, touch, sight and smell are emphasized, as well as the artistic conception that the utensils match the dining environment. Japanese cuisine is mainly divided into three categories: Japanese cuisine, Shi Huai cuisine and banquet cuisine. It has the characteristics of light taste, fine processing, bright color and less greasy.

French food is usually eaten raw, and wine is the first choice for seasoning. There are strict rules on the collocation of food and wine, such as prohibition of wine for clear soup and champagne for turkey. French famous dishes include foie gras, oyster cup, snail, Malinggu chicken, Masini chicken, onion soup, sirloin steak and Marseille fish soup.
European Michelin Cuisine Italy is a country of delicious food. They have a long history in food, just like their art, fashion and cars, they always like to elaborate. Italian food is elegant and noble, thick and simple, and pays attention to the original flavor. Italian food is very rich, with thousands of dishes. Besides the famous pizza and pasta, it is also famous for its seafood and desserts. Italian cuisine with a long history has had a far-reaching impact on European and American catering, and many factions including French cuisine and American cuisine have exhibited it, so it has the reputation of "the mother of western food".
There are many kinds of meat products in Germany, many of which are made of meat products, and there are hundreds of sausages alone. Among them, the famous sausage has long been famous in the world. Some Germans still have the habit of eating raw beef. The famous steak Tatar is to chop the tender beef and mix it with raw onion, pickled cucumber and raw egg yolk. In addition, sauerkraut is widely used in German cuisine and is often used as a side dish. It tastes sour and salty, thick but not greasy. Germany is rich in beer, so some dishes are often flavored with beer. German specialties include boiled pork with Berlin sauerkraut, stewed wieners with sauerkraut, hamburger steak and steak Tatar.
The United States is an immigrant country, with almost all kinds of delicious food in the world, but most American delicious food originated from British delicious food. Compared with English food, American food has changed greatly in taste and ingredients. The traditional salty, fresh and sweet tastes have tended to be light and fresh. In terms of materials, butter is changed to vegetable butter or vegetable oil, butter is changed to fake cream (that is, completely defatted cream), cheese is changed to liquid milk, canned fruit is replaced by fresh fruit, thick soup is changed to clear soup, and buffalo and ostrich meat with low fat and cholesterol are mostly used as meat. In addition, vegetarian food and raw food are very popular in the United States, and fruits are very common in vegetables.
Asian Michelin Special Food (1) Japanese Sushi
Japanese cuisine is recognized as an international delicacy with fine cooking. Natural flavor is the main spirit of Japanese cuisine, and the cooking method is exquisite. Sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, miso, firewood fish and kelp are commonly used as the main seasonings, and the taste, touch, sight and smell are emphasized, as well as the artistic conception that the utensils match the dining environment.
Japanese cuisine is mainly divided into three categories: Japanese cuisine, Shi Huai cuisine and banquet cuisine. It has the characteristics of light taste, fine processing, bright color and less greasy.
(2) China
Hong Kong and Macao are places where Chinese and Western cultures meet, and they are also paradise for food and shopping. Their dishes are based on Cantonese cuisine, which combines the ingredients, seasoning and cooking methods of western food, and boldly creates Cantonese cuisine with local characteristics of the SAR. The foreign dishes in the special zone are mainly European dishes.
Michelin restaurant (1) is set in a linear way.
Make a straight line with sauce, or put the dishes in a straight line. The key point is that the position of the straight line should be in the middle, and pay attention to the blank space on both sides.
(2) Arc shape
Arc is a very useful setting effect in Chinese food. If the dishes on the plate look too square and heavy, draw an arc with sauce to ensure a big transformation in one second.
(3) Circle and straight line
It should be noted that this circle should not be placed in the middle of the plate, but on the left off center.
(4) Triangle
Remember not to use triangular, rectangular or oval plates. Dishes are the most suitable match.
(5) Cup pressing
Put a small pile of sauce in the middle of the plate with a spoon, then gently press down the pattern with a glass and take it away vertically. The effect is amazing.
Michelin chefs must be proficient in foreign languages (1).
As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. If you go to other areas, you want to be a real chef. Assistantchef > Chef is an order that basically starts with cheftrainee). You need at least a good command of the local language.
For example, in Hongkong and Macau, if you want to know Cantonese and Taiwan Province Province, you need to know Minnan. In a foreign country, you should learn the local language-even in America, you may need a little Spanish besides English.
(2) Extremely meticulous and rigorous
Because we can't disturb customers' meals, there can't be any communication between chefs.
Since most kitchens are open kitchens, you must ensure that your desk is clean and tidy. Because of the particularity of Michelin restaurant, your seasoning ratio must be 100% accurate.
(3) Can bear great pressure
Chefs in Michelin-starred restaurants need to work continuously for at least 12 hours. There is almost no rest and I can't sit down. Because of this, the mobility of Michelin employees will be very large, and it is normal for people other than chefs to change a batch every few months.
What you do is extremely repetitive, but it needs to be precise. It is common to cut hundreds of tomatoes, potatoes and lentils a day and then cut them in the same way.
(4) Have enough perseverance to stick to it.
Everyone is under great pressure to do so much work, so they can't be lazy and be visited by other guests at any time.
How to work in Michelin If you just want to be a chef in a Michelin-starred restaurant (cheftrainee), you only need to graduate (or study) from a famous catering school in this area, then participate in various networking activities related to chefs and get all kinds of contact information of chefs, so you may get an interview and possibly work in a restaurant.
In addition, most restaurants in China "so-called" invite Michelin chefs, all of whom are trainee chefs or assistant chefs. Trainee chef is because there are so many, and assistant chef is because he really understands some key contents.
But then again, everyone can go to a Michelin restaurant except a few core people. Because Michelin restaurant is not simply how delicious and amazing it is to "cook a dish", but how delicious and amazing it is to cook every dish. The appearance of Michelin is based on an extremely strict premise. Without this premise, Michelin restaurant is not Michelin restaurant.
The annual salary of Michelin restaurant chefs is rated as a star, especially Samsung restaurant. For a restaurant and chef, this is a matter of infinite scenery, infinite glory and rolling financial resources.
According to industry sources, according to the price positioning of foreign Michelin-starred restaurants, the per capita consumption of dining here is about 3000 ~ 4000 RMB. The chef of Michelin three-star restaurant is also recognized as the most valuable and outstanding chef in the world. Generally, the annual salary of one million is not a problem.
The whole process of dining in Michelin restaurant (1) before dinner reservation.
Because Michelin restaurants are hard to find, we need to make a reservation. You can make a reservation in the restaurant official website, or you can call or email. Click on the "BookAReservation" link on the web page, enter the time and number of people you want to go, and click "Search" to see if there are any vacancies on that day. If yes, please click OK. Most restaurants will automatically jump to the third-party ordering website, and some restaurants have their own online ordering system, so you can order directly.
Reminder: Michelin Samsung usually has to book 2-3 months in advance, and it may be too hot to book a seat. For example, TheFatDuck receives more than 1 10,000 booking applications every day! Two Michelin stars are usually booked one month to one and a half months in advance. If you are lucky, you can get a seat one week in advance. Michelin is even easier. You can often book a few days in advance. 19 to 20 nights is still good.
(2) Clothing requirements
After booking a restaurant, you will receive an e-mail, which will explain the time of your reservation and the dress code of the restaurant: dress code. Samsung restaurant will require cleanliness. It is worth reminding everyone that almost all Michelin restaurants are not allowed to wear sportswear and sports shoes.
(3) Telephone confirmation
When the reservation is finished, the restaurant will call your number the day before or two days before the meal and ask if the reservation is confirmed. If you happen to miss the call, the restaurant will leave a message in your voice mail, please confirm. At the same time, you and your dining partner will be asked if you are allergic to certain foods or have special dietary requirements. When you answer, the reservation will take effect.
Reminder: Some restaurant reservations require a credit card, and even if you don't go that day, you will be deducted, so this phone confirmation is more important. After all, eating a meal is quite expensive. If the students can't go for the time being, remember to cancel the phone call. If this reservation is an important special occasion, such as marriage proposal, anniversary and birthday, you can tell the restaurant in advance, and the restaurant will prepare and decorate according to your requirements. Members of the Committee have seen people propose marriage in restaurants. How romantic! Some restaurants overlooking the night view of London need to tell them in advance if they want to reserve a window seat, because everyone wants a good seat.
Arrive on the day of meal (1)
It doesn't matter whether you arrive earlier or later than scheduled, but it's best not to exceed 15-20 minutes, because some restaurants will cancel by default after this time. And Michelin restaurant takes a long time to cook, and it takes at least 2 hours to eat a meal. If you choose a full set of French food, it may take 4-5 hours to finish it, sooner rather than later.
When you arrive at the restaurant, please ask the receptionist to explain your reservation and the name of the reservation. The waiter will show you to your seat with a smile. In winter, the receptionist will ask you if you need to keep your coat. Because winter clothes are really expensive, especially materials such as fur and cashmere, it is difficult to clean them when eating, so restaurants generally have special cloakrooms to keep them.
(2) Order food
Some restaurants will invite guests to order desserts at this time because some desserts take a long time to prepare. Some restaurants don't give dessert menu at this time, and don't give it until the main course is finished. In this case, just order the plate and the main course. Most restaurants also offer champagne, wine list, vegetarian menu and seasonal menu. Students can choose according to their own needs. After ordering, the waiter will reconfirm whether the customer is allergic to a certain ingredient. If not, he can wait for the food.
(3) Catering
There is nothing to say about eating, just eat. Don't worry about not knowing which one is butter knife, meat cutter, dessert knife and spoon, because the restaurant won't arrange all the knives and forks on the table, but will give each dish a corresponding knife and fork and wine glass. So don't worry at all.
The waiter will come over when the customer is eating and ask if there is any problem with the food and if the customer is satisfied. The waiters in Michelin restaurants are professionally trained and know how to keep a sense of proportion. They won't bore customers, and they won't talk to you when your mouth is full, but they will be considerate of customers.
(4) dessert
Some restaurants will serve something called dessert before serving dessert. The function of the pre-dessert is to remove the flavor left by the main course on the taste buds and let the taste buds prepare for the taste of the dessert. Therefore, the pre-desserts are generally refreshing, and some of the pre-desserts are sour, probably to neutralize the sweetness in the post-desserts. Not all restaurants have desserts, and most Michelin-starred restaurants don't.
(5) After meals
Some restaurants are lovely. After dinner, they will push a cart full of almond cakes, chocolates and beautiful cotton candy to your side and ask if you need it. These things are free! Just ask if you want to eat, and the waiter will take a piece from the glass jar and put it on your plate.
You can ask for the bill after eating. Michelin restaurants usually send the bill with chocolate, marshmallows or almond cakes. Every restaurant delivers different things, some delicious and some mediocre. Some restaurants will send you postcards for free. You're welcome to send them!
(6) checkout
There is nothing to say about checking out. If two people are in AA system, ask the waiter to swipe their cards separately. The service charge of Michelin restaurant ranges from 12.5% to 15%. Some restaurants accept distilled water or tablecloths, while others don't, which is about 1.2 kg.
(7) Go out
Don't forget to pick up your coat or overcoat from the front desk when you go out, just give the card or hand card to the front desk. Some restaurants will send you some cakes when they leave, all of which are boxed by themselves. They are so cute that you can eat them when you are hungry the next afternoon.
After enjoying the Michelin dinner after leaving, I usually receive an email from the restaurant in my mailbox, asking customers to rate the stars. It doesn't matter whether I come back or not.
