    Have you ever had the fortune of eating at a Michelin-starred restaurant before? The Michelin Guide—a prestigious French restaurant service that grades restaurants all around the world—awards stars to some of the top restaurants on Earth.

    So what exactly are the criteria that make Michelin-starred restaurants so special and a cut above the rest? Here are three distinguishing qualities of these fantastic eateries. 

    Quality of Service

    Excellent service is one of the hallmarks of Michelin-starred eateries. At these restaurants, the waitstaff doubles as a group of experts on the foods and drinks that will be served to you. They’ll be able to tell you all you need to know about your order, and they’ll be waiting on you with perfect attention to detail in order to make your experience positive.

    Quality of Food

    Obviously, the food that is served at Michelin-starred restaurants is a cut above the food served elsewhere. The magazine rewards restaurants that use quality ingredients and turn them into flavorful, creative dishes customers love.

    Consistent Excellence

    Michelin staff consistently visit their starred restaurants to ensure the excellence provided—both in food and drink and in service—is maintained consistently. This is done to guarantee to customers that, no matter what day they go, they’ll be treated to a special experience.
