When I am on the lookout for exceptional food, the Guide Michelin is for me the benchmark for restaurant reviews. It is the most professional guide, since the testers are mostly former chefs and their descriptions are very to the point and precise.
Michelin Star restaurants
I have the privilege of having eaten at 50 different Michelin Star restaurants in 9 countries, some of them more than once. Never (except one – Prammerl and the Wolf in Vienna) have I been misguided by Michelin’s judgement. Find a list of my Michelin restaurant visits in a chronological order (with web-links). Note that the restaurants had these star awards at the time of my (last) visit.
