The 2017 ranking is out: 70 new starred establishments, a record!
Michelin has just revealed the names of the new starred establishments of the 2017 vintage at a press conference in Paris. Feared and anticipated by chefs, the verdict awards 1 new three-star, 5 new two-stars, and 57 one-star. The Paca region snags 10 one-stars, but nothing for Nice, Cannes, or Marseille. Congratulations to the chefs and their teams! Congratulations as well to those who already had it—or them—and remain in the running. Maintaining the level is as challenging as earning the star.
