At MICHELIN-rated restaurants and hotels this month, the rainbow isn’t just flying—it’s plated. From a glitter-garnished cocktail in Chicago to a charity tasting menu in San Francisco, Pride Month in 2025 isn’t just about parade routes or glitter bombs (though there’s that, too). It's also unfolding at the table, where chefs across MICHELIN-recognized kitchens are raising a glass—and a fork—to the LGBTQ+ community.
Yes, Pride is a protest. But it’s also a party. And no one throws a more elegantly executed one than a chef with a tasting menu, a wine pairing, and a rainbow-dusted financier.
Below, a city-by-city guide to MICHELIN-rated restaurants putting purpose—and plenty of flavor—on the plate this June.
