What is a Michelin-starred restaurant?

A Michelin-starred restaurant is a dining establishment that has been recognised by the Michelin Guide for outstanding cooking. It’s one of the most prestigious honours a restaurant can receive in the culinary world.

What Does a Michelin Star Mean?

The Michelin Guide, originally published by the Michelin tire company in France over a century ago, began as a travel guide. Over time, it evolved into one of the most trusted sources for restaurant recommendations globally.

Restaurants can be awarded:

• One Star: A very good restaurant in its category.

• Two Stars: Excellent cooking, worth a detour.

• Three Stars: Exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.

How does a restaurant get a Michelin star?

The Michelin Guide awards one, two, or three stars based on a strict set of standards, evaluated anonymously by professional inspectors. Here are the five core criteria used to assess restaurants:

1. Quality of Ingredients: We select only the finest, freshest, and most thoughtfully sourced ingredients.

2. Mastery of Cooking Techniques: From grilling to fermenting, chefs must demonstrate expert-level skill and control in every method they use.

3. Chef’s Personality in the Cuisine: The food should reflect the chef’s unique identity, creativity, and passion, not just good taste.

4. Value for Money: Whether it's a high-end French tasting or elevated Thai street food, the dining experience should be worth the price you pay.

5. Consistency: Every dish must deliver, not just once, but consistently across repeat visits, seasons, and service hours.

Now that you know what it takes to earn a Michelin star, let’s explore the ten best Michelin-starred restaurants in Bangkok that bring all these elements together. From traditional Thai cuisine to global gourmet experiences, this list caters to every type of foodie.
