The full Michelin Guide American Great Lakes restaurant selection will be announced in 2027, with details about the inaugural awards ceremony to be shared at a later date.
What is the Michelin Guide?
Dig deeper:
The Michelin Guide sends anonymous inspectors to evaluate restaurants based on rigorous, globally consistent criteria.
With inspectors already in the field across the Great Lakes, Milwaukee’s restaurants now have the opportunity to earn distinctions, including MICHELIN Stars, Bib Gourmand recognition, and Green Stars for mindful gastronomy.
