Michelin to update Vancouver restaurant guide

Michelin is set to update its guide to Vancouver’s fine dining on Thursday.

The culinary kingmaker is hosting a ceremony to add more restaurants to its prestigious list of recommendations.

As it stands, nine restaurants in the city have one Michelin star, an honour given to eateries with “high-quality cooking” that are deemed “worth a stop.”

There are, as of yet, no restaurants in the city with two stars — “excellent cooking, worth a detour” — or the maximum three stars — “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.”

There are also 15 restaurants in Vancouver with the “bib gourmand” designation, which goes to establishments with “great food at a great value.”
