Eat at a Michelin Star Restaurant
The Quintessential King Of Culinary Delights
For the best part of a century, the esteemed inspectors of the Michelin Guide have been travelling the world in search of its finest eateries, and every year, the most exceptional are awarded either one, two, or three, highly-coveted Michelin Stars.
For foodies, eating at one of these restaurants is a wonderful experience, and one that is no longer reserved solely for the rich, with the list becoming increasingly diverse by the year, and now encompassing everything from opulent fine-dining restaurants in Paris, to Tokyo noodle bars serving £8 bowls of ramen.

Other Michelin Must Eats
For a quintessential fine-dining experience, there's no better choice then New York’s 3 Michelin- Starred 11 Madison Park.
Renowned British chef Fergus Henderson opened his restaurant St John in a former bacon smokehouse.
This once humble, neighbourhood eatery has since evolved into an empire.
Housed in a beautiful 18th century building in the historic Chiado district of the Portuguese capital, the two-starred Alma.
Did you know the UK alone has 3,000 current restaurants that have been given the coveted Michelin Star.
Faq?
Yes, as Michelin Star restaurants tend to be extremely popular, you should try and reserve a table as far as possible in advance. However, many of the more casual restaurants (including Sosakumenkobo Nakiryu and Tim Ho Wan), are walk in only, so you should arrive early to avoid long queues.
Many of the pricier, fine-dining restaurants such as11 Madison Park, will have a dress code, whereas casual eateries will not. This should be checked in advance with your restaurant of choice.
That's completely dependant on where you choose to dine. Tim Ho Wan is relatively cheap and can provide lunch for no more than a cheeky Nando's... others could cost several hundred pounds for a gourmet evening meal.
