Maybe it\u2019s the satisfaction of eating a smooth entr\u00e9e that makes the taste buds unite in total harmony. Or perhaps it\u2019s the unique sensation of flavours that should, in theory, clash, but combine to create something delicious.

However, being a top Michelin star restaurant isn\u2019t easy; inspectors will visit, at any time, to make sure the food stays up to scratch. And, if a chef leaves, they don\u2019t take the Michelin star with them: they have to earn it in their next kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>You may also be interested to read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/michelin-star-chefs-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Journey of Flavour: The Mastery of India\u2019s Michelin-star Chefs<\/a><\/i><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>Savor exquisite dishes at Michelin-starred Olive Tree Restaurant on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/tours\/british-royale\">British Royale<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A revered three-star system<\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_11586\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11586\" class=\"wp-image-11586 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/borkonyha_1686402007_3122088777711154165_6079898842-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Orange coloured sauce is drizzled over an elegant meat dish garnished with bright orange and green in a Michelin star restaurant\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/borkonyha_1686402007_3122088777711154165_6079898842-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/borkonyha_1686402007_3122088777711154165_6079898842-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/borkonyha_1686402007_3122088777711154165_6079898842-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/borkonyha_1686402007_3122088777711154165_6079898842-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/borkonyha_1686402007_3122088777711154165_6079898842-1320x1650.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/borkonyha_1686402007_3122088777711154165_6079898842.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11586\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sensational dish is served at Michelin-starred Borkonyha Winekitchen in Budapest.

The early editions of the Michelin Guide said that an eatery with one star was \u201cvery good in its category\u201d, two meant it had \u201cexcellent cooking, worth a detour\u201d and a third meant it offered \u201cexceptional cuisine, worth a special trip\u201d. Currently, France has the most Michelin star restaurants \u2013 with Japan hot on its heels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If a restaurant is thought to warrant an upgrade to a two-star, four inspectors need to visit to verify the quality of the food. Should that restaurant be lucky enough to be considered for a third Michelin star, ten different inspectors need to sample its delicious dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the Michelin listings are updated every year, there are plenty of opportunities to gain a star. Currently, there are 139 three-star restaurants: France and Monaco have 29 of them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read about the best of Japanese cuisine: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/tokyos-finest-uncover-the-citys-top-8-michelin-starred-restaurants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Explore the Top 8 Michelin Star Restaurants in Tokyo<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>Experience fine dining plus an extensive wine cellar at\u00a0Borkonyha Winekitchen on: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/tours\/harmony-of-central-europe\">Harmony of Central Europe<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>A Michelin star is not for life<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_11748\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11748\" class=\"wp-image-11748 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lemonzurestaurant_1695239666_3196224437384129717_2894150382-873x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"938\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lemonzurestaurant_1695239666_3196224437384129717_2894150382-873x1024.jpg 873w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lemonzurestaurant_1695239666_3196224437384129717_2894150382-256x300.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lemonzurestaurant_1695239666_3196224437384129717_2894150382-768x901.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lemonzurestaurant_1695239666_3196224437384129717_2894150382-1310x1536.jpg 1310w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lemonzurestaurant_1695239666_3196224437384129717_2894150382-1320x1548.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/lemonzurestaurant_1695239666_3196224437384129717_2894150382.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11748\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Divine dishes and stunning vistas await at Michelin-starred Mamma restaurant in Capri, where you dine on Ultimate Italy.

In fact it\u2019s not uncommon for restaurants to lose a Michelin star. This could be a result of standards in the kitchen slipping, the downgrading of ingredients, or even head chefs leaving for greener pastures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gordon Ramsay\u2019s NYC restaurant, The London, notoriously lost two of its stars in 2013 \u2013 the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hell\u2019s Kitchen<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> star himself was reduced to tears. Despite this Ramsey holds 17 Michelin stars, making him the third highest chef for these esteemed accolades. Frenchman <\/span>Jo\u00ebl Robuchon is top with 31.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, inspectors at Michelin are aware of the impact losing a star could have on a chef\u2019s career \u2013 be they young or established \u2013 and endeavour to be as fair as possible in their judgment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the greatest thing about the top Michelin star restaurants is that the guide is always growing, evolving, and open to innovative ideas \u2013 so, when exploring our wonderful world, the flavour-loving traveller will always find somewhere phenomenal to satisfy their culinary cravings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Bookmark for later: <\/i><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/lg\/michelin-star-restaurants-edinburgh\/\">The Luxury Gold Guide to the Finest Michelin star Restaurants in Edinburgh<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Enjoy exceptional dining and sensational views at Michelin-starred Mamma Restaurant in Capri on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxurygold.com\/tours\/ultimate-italy\">Ultimate Italy<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Exceptional Dining &#8211; a hallmark of Luxury Gold<\/h2>\n<p>From in room breakfasts to culinary masterclasses, VIP wine tours to Michelin star dining, gastronomy is at the heart of every Luxury Gold journey.
