From 1920, ever since restaurants became a regular in its contents, the Michelin Guide has become an international reference for gastronomic quality and standards.
What started as a directory with useful information for drivers who acquired tires from the same-name brand, over time became a standard that, country by country and year by year, is responsible for awarding the best of local cuisine, recognizing the quality and extraordinary origin of its foods.
May 2024 marked the first time that the Michelin Guide officially landed in Mexico, recognizing 18 establishments with stars and highlighting 97 others as must-visit destinations. Among the latter, Siembra Comedor and Aúna in Mexico City, along with Almoraduz in Puerto Escondido, stand out thanks to their singular takes on Mexican cuisine.
