What is the Michelin Star
At the moment it is the most famous and influential of restaurant ratings in the world. Every year it makes a list of the best restaurants in major cities, marking them with stars. Michelin stars mean:
- * (one star) – means that the restaurant is really good in its category and type of cuisine it specializes in.
- ** (two stars) – mean high rated cuisine and that it is worth to change your route around the city and visit the place.
- *** (three stars) – the most prestigious score in the list. It means that you should visit the city only because of the great work of the chef in the restaurant.
The first restaurant in Czechia which received the star was “Allegro” in hotel Four Seasons. It took place in 2008 making the place the first in all post communist Eastern Europe. Since then, five prestigious awards have been given to five restaurants. However, none of them managed to get more than one star.
In 2017 three Czech restaurants “Alcron”, “La Degustation Bochme Bourgeoise” and “Field” confirmed their stars. In 2018 only two restaurants remained with the star as the “Alcron” didn’t prove the rank. Nevertheless, we will mention three of them.
