Restaurants to be judged on five criteria.
Epicures of Abu Dhabi will now be in great company as the MICHELIN Guide will unveil its first-ever restaurant selection for Abu Dhabi in November.
Yes, the legendary gastronomic magazine will be applying its tried and tested methodology to the superb cuisines and dishes that are crafted by some of the capital’s most fantastic establishments.
The selection of Abu Dhabi as the 41st destination covered by the MICHELIN Guide globally means that the capital’s restaurants will have an opportunity of earning one of the most coveted awards in the food and beverage industry; the MICHELIN Star.
One MICHELIN Star is awarded to restaurants for high-quality cooking that is worth a stop; Two MICHELIN Stars for ‘excellent cooking that is worth a detour’; and Three MICHELIN Stars for ‘exceptional cuisine that is worth a special journey’.
Besides the coveted star ratings, the selection will also include the popular Bib Gourmand category, a distinction awarded to establishments that provide value-for-money three-course meals.
Commenting on the announcement, Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides, said; “The MICHELIN Guide inspectors have been working in Abu Dhabi for some time now, discovering and enjoying the rich and varied cuisines that the city has to offer, from creative and cosmopolite dishes to more traditional cuisines of the region, like Middle Eastern, Lebanese, and of course, Emirati.
“The inspectors have relished the diversity and quality of all that the gastronomy of Abu Dhabi has revealed, and they can’t wait to share their discoveries with our community of international gourmets.”
The MICHELIN Guide Abu Dhabi 2023 selection is based on five criteria; the quality of the ingredients, the mastery of cooking, the harmony of flavours, the personality of the chef through the cuisine and the consistency both over time and across the entire menu.
The full selection of the MICHELIN Guide Abu Dhabi 2023 will be available free of charge on both the MICHELIN Guide website guide.michelin.com and application.
