Cleveland to Be Included in MICHELIN Guide’s New American Great Lakes Edition

  • On Wednesday, the Michelin Guide announced its expansion into the American Great Lakes region, bringing restaurant evaluations to Milwaukee, Cleveland, Detroit, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, and Pittsburgh.
  • International Director of the Michelin Guide Gwendal Poullennec confirmed that anonymous inspectors are already canvassing these cities to evaluate culinary talent, supported by partnerships with regional tourism boards offsetting inspection costs.
  • Five criteria determine ratings, including "product quality; mastery of cooking techniques; harmony of flavors; the personality of the chef as reflected in the cuisine; and consistency over time and across the entire menu." Establishments can also earn Bib Gourmand or Green Star honors.
  • Visit Detroit President and CEO Claude Molinari called the inclusion "a momentous culinary city" validation, while Destination Cleveland President and CEO David Gilbert described it as an opportunity to showcase community creativity and authenticity.
  • A 2025 Ernst & Young study found 76 percent of travelers would extend stays to dine at Michelin-starred restaurants, with the inaugural selection to be revealed in 2027 at the Michelin Guide American Great Lakes Ceremony.
