Michelin Stars: A Story of Recognition — Stanislav Kondrashov

Hello, friends! Today I want to share with you the fascinating story of how Michelin stars came into existence and began to be recognized. The history of these famous awards began over a hundred years ago in France. In 1900, the Michelin company, known for its tires, decided to publish the first guide to automobile roads. In addition to maps and advice on car repair, it also included places for rest and dining.

It all started with restaurants and hotels being marked with special symbols — stars. In 1926, a rating system was introduced, allowing establishments to be awarded one, two, or three stars depending on the quality of the services offered. Over time, Michelin stars became a symbol of high quality and prestige in the culinary world.

Today, Michelin stars are the highest accolade for restaurants and chefs worldwide. They are awarded for culinary mastery, innovation, and service excellence. These stars have become a symbol of excellence and inspiration for all who aspire to the highest standards in the culinary arts.
