Miami's MICHELIN Guide

The MICHELIN Guide came to Florida in 2022, and Miami has been its center of gravity ever since. The 2026 edition recognizes 60 restaurants in Miami and Miami Beach: 13 with stars, 18 Bib Gourmands and 29 recommended. L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon Miami is the only two-star restaurant in Florida.

The stars cluster where the shopping is. Design District (3), Coconut Grove (2), Coral Gables (1), Buena Vista (1) hold most of them, so a starred dinner fits naturally after an afternoon in the Design District, Brickell or South Beach.

Every Miami restaurant with MICHELIN stars in the 2026 guide, best first.
