Majorca Restaurants With Michelin Stars

Mallorca Restaurants with Michelin Stars

Michelin Stars are awarded by the Michelin Red Guide, the oldest and most well known European hotel and restaurant guide book. The guide was first started by Andre Michelin in 1900 and the first edition was a guide to France, with advice about travelling by car and on how to find good places to stay and have a meal while on route. The guides are now published annually and there is one published for France, Austria, Spain/Portugal, Netherlands/Belgium and Luxembourg, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Uk/Ireland, New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas.

The guide awards one to three stars to a small number of restaurants of outstanding quality. Stars are awarded sparingly. One star indicates "a very good restaurant in its category", two stars indicate a restaurant with "excellent cooking, worth a detour", and three stars indicate a restaurant with "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey".

There are five Majorca Restaurants with Michelin Stars. Tristan Restaurant in Puerto Portals and Chef Gerhard Schwaiger has 2 michelin stars, Bacchus Restaurant at Read's Hotel and Chef Marc Fosh has one michelin star, Es Raco des Teix Restaurant in Deia and Chef Josef Sauerschell has one michelin star, Es Moli den Bou Restaurant in Sant Llorenc des Cardassar and Chef Tomeu Caldentey has one michelin star, and Plat d'Or Restaurant in the Arabella Golf Hotel in Son Vida and Chef Rafael Sanchez has one michelin star.

The Michelin Star rating has become a very prestigious award for any restaurant and its Chef, and the guide has been known to take away a star if a restaurant falls in quality for some reason. For the island of Mallorca to have five restaurants with Michelin stars is quite an achievement and a great complement to Mallorcan cuisine, its chefs and its restaurants.
