The Michelin Guide Quebec
“The MICHELIN Guide Quebec will be the third destination in Canada, joining Toronto and Vancouver.
If you’re wondering when the restaurants will be announced, the MICHELIN Guide says the Quebec selections will be revealed in 2025, and “will feature culinary gems throughout the province.”
“Quebec is home to a rich and diverse food scene with international influences and farm-to-table dishes thanks to the variety of locally grown ingredients found throughout the region,” reads the announcement.
“We are excited to plant our flag in Quebec as the newest destination for the MICHELIN Guide in Canada,” says Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides.
“Quebec’s culinary scene shines a light on the rich heritage and traditions of the province attracting travellers on the lookout for remarkable and tasty experiences. I look forward to revealing what our anonymous Inspectors discover for this inaugural selection.”
What is the Michelin Guide?
We’ve all heard the name before, but if you’re not sure what the honour means we’re here to break it down.
Anonymous MICHELIN Guide Inspectors award the iconic MICHELIN Stars – one, two or three – “to unparalleled cuisine.”
The Guide is also renowned for its Bib Gourmand selection. Bib Gourmand highlihts restaurants “that offer great quality food at good prices.”
Finally, the MICHELIN Green Star is given to restaurants “that are leaders in sustainable gastronomy.”
Recommended restaurants and special professional awards are also highlighted by the MICHELIN inspectors.
Welcome to the MICHELIN Guide crew, Quebec!
