The results for the inaugural Canadian edition of the Michelin Guide are in: Twelve One-Star restaurants and one Two-Star restaurant were announced in a ceremony last night.

MICHELIN GUIDE STAR RATING SYSTEM

The Michelin Guide selection follows “Michelin's historical methodology, based on five universal criteria, to ensure each destination's selection equity:”

1. Quality products
2. The harmony of flavours
3. The mastery of cooking techniques
4. The personality of the chef in the cuisine
5. Consistency between each visit (“Each restaurant is inspected several times a year.”)
