Québec Becomes the 12th MICHELIN Guide Destination in North America

The MICHELIN Guide has arrived in the province of Québec, as Michelin and l’Alliance de l’industrie touristique du Québec today revealed the MICHELIN Guide Québec. The MICHELIN Guide Québec will be the third destination in Canada, in addition to Toronto and Vancouver.

Québec 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. The province is home to both renowned chefs and up-and- coming talent looking to mix traditional and avant-garde cooking techniques into their dishes.

“We are excited to plant our flag in Québec as the newest destination for the MICHELIN Guide in Canada,” says Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. “Québec’s culinary scene shines a light on the rich heritage and traditions of the province attracting travelers on the lookout for remarkable and tasty experiences. I look forward to revealing what my famously anonymous Inspectors discover for the inaugural selection.”

The first MICHELIN Guide Québec selection will be revealed in 2025, and it will feature culinary gems throughout the province.

The 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, highlighting restaurants that offer great quality food at good prices. 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 Inspectors.

The MICHELIN Guide’s anonymous Inspectors are already in the field, making dining reservations secretively and paying for all their meals to ensure they are treated the same as any other customer.

“Québec is a rich multicultural mosaic, which gives Québec’s cuisine an invaluable uniqueness,’’ says Geneviève Cantin, CEO of the Alliance. “It is with immense pride that all of our partners welcome the arrival of the MICHELIN Guide across the Province of Québec, which will further showcase our local artisans on the international stage.

The MICHELIN Guide is constantly observing the evolution of culinary destinations around the world. The MICHELIN Guide selections process remains completely independent. While selections remain fully independently determined by anonymous Inspectors, the MICHELIN Guide is working with the Alliance on marketing and promotion activities only.
