Michelin has just unveiled the latest edition of its MICHELIN Guides with a new title dedicated to one of the world’s most celebrated cuisines: Cantonese food.
This is the first time that the teams of the MICHELIN Guide have created a selection that does not cover a particular geographical area but compiles the best addresses offering a regional specialty.
"The MICHELIN Guide is now acclaiming, internationally, Cantonese gastronomy, which enjoys a worldwide reputation and is appreciated both in Asia, Europe, North America and in the Pacific,” says Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the MICHELIN Guides.
The selection lists some 291 establishments from different editions of the guide, of which 78 are starred restaurants, 62 are Bib Gourmands and 151 are restaurants awarded a Michelin Plate.
