 In the latest edition of the New York City edition of the MICHELIN Eleven Madison Park has joined six other New York restaurants at the Michelin three-star level, the highest recognition in the culinary world. In addition, nine New York City restaurants have achieved two Michelin stars. Forty-six restaurants earned one Michelin star.
Being included in the MICHELIN Guide is a sign of excellence and quality. In fact, 805 restaurants were selected for inclusion this year. Among them, MICHELIN inspectors included 58 different types of cuisine.
Last week, Michelin announced the list of 114 Bib Gourmand restaurants from the latest New York edition. Bib Gourmands serve two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less (excluding tax and gratuity). Bib Gourmands are known as establishments that offer excellent value to customers. Only 93 restaurants in the world currently hold three stars. Of those, seven are in New York City. In the U.S., New York is one of only three cities where Michelin publishes an annual guide. The others are San Francisco and Chicago.
Present in North America since late 2005, the MICHELIN Guide New York City 2012 goes on sale today, at $18.99.
