Countries Around The World That Have The MOST Michelin Star Restaurants!

Welcome back to Around The Globe, today on the channel we are going to check out the Countries with the most Michelin Stars RANKED for a mouth-watering holiday! If you want to explore the finest dining in the world, you’ll likely head to a destination like San Francisco, New York, Paris or Tokyo, where renowned restaurants abound, many of them listed in the Michelin Guides. The Michelin Guides started out about 120 years ago as guide books published by a French tire company in the hopes of getting more French drivers on the move and thus increasing the demand for tires. Fast forward to today, when the Michelin Guides, 30 million sold, are best-sellers that rate over 30,000 establishments around the world, awarding coveted stars to those that meet their criteria. Here are the countries with the most Michelin Stars, ranked.

1) France. France continues to hold on to its title as the country with the highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants in the world. According to the latest Michelin Guide, France has 632 Michelin-starred restaurants, of which 74 establishments hold two coveted Michelin stars, while 29 restaurants earned three stars. 2) Japan. Japan claims the top spot as the nation with the highest number of restaurants per resident with one restaurant for every 61,000 residents. Japan’s per capita rate is computed solely for the regions covered by the Michelin Guide—Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto prefectures—which are home to roughly 25 million people and 413 Michelin-starred restaurants. So what makes Japanese restaurants and cuisine so special that it earned such an incredible number of Michelin stars? Anthony Bourdain once famously said of Japan, “The first time I came here, it was a transformative experience. It was like taking acid for the first time, meaning ‘What do I do now that I see the whole world [of food] in a different way?’.Japanese top chefs are renowned for their strive for perfection and use of exceptional quality ingredients, though there are some concerns that the Michelin Guide criteria might have been less strict locally compared to Europe and the US.
