The respected Michelin Guide has dispatched its anonymous “Inspectors” to scout Detroit restaurants.
Announced Wednesday, the Michelin Guide American Great Lakes edition will also cover the cities of Cleveland, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, and Pittsburgh.
“The Michelin Guide is committed to fostering a culture of travel and dining by helping people discover unforgettable culinary experiences in new destinations,” said the Michelin Guide’s international director, Gwendal Poullennec. “We are excited to finally be putting a stake in the ground in the Great Lakes region, spotlighting the talent and food cultures across these six great cities. Our anonymous Inspectors have begun canvassing these cities for impressive culinary talent and are eager to share their experiences with you in the inaugural selection next year.”
The selected restaurants will be revealed in 2027.
In a statement, Claude Molinari, president and CEO of Visit Detroit, the city’s visitors bureau, celebrated the news.
“Being named a Michelin Guide destination is a milestone moment for Detroit and Southeast Michigan,” he said. “It reinforces Detroit’s emergence as a premier culinary destination in the United States, known for its diverse dining scene, world-class chefs and authentic food culture. This recognition puts us on a global stage, attracting new visitors, elevating our chefs and restaurateurs, and reinforcing food as a driver of tourism and economic growth. We’re incredibly excited about what this means for the future of our destination.”
Yes, Michelin is that tire company. It started publishing a restaurant guide in 1900, awarding restaurants up to three of its coveted stars for culinary excellence.
