Michelin and Destination Vancouver have announced the MICHELIN Guide Vancouver, the latest expansion of the MICHELINGuide.
Vancouver is home to a thriving culinary community with established chefs and young professionals ready to polish their skills. The city restaurant teams are committed to using a wide range of high-quality products, such as produce, meat and seafood sourced locally and sustainably.
The first MICHELIN Guide Vancouver selection will be revealed in the fall, and it will showcase outstanding restaurants and professionals receiving Michelin distinctions. The famously anonymous inspectors of the Guide award the iconic MICHELIN Stars One, Two or Three to unparalleled cuisine. The Guide is also renowned for its Bib Gourmand selection, highlighting restaurants that offer great quality food at good prices. The MICHELIN Green Star is given to restaurants that are leaders in sustainable gastronomy. We’re thrilled to bring the MICHELIN Guide to Canada’s west coast and shine a spotlight on all that Vancouver has to offer, said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. Our inspectors are already exploring Vancouver.
They are eagerly diving into its wide variety of cuisines, prepared with high-quality products and served in warm, casual atmospheres. Vancouver is celebrated by international travellers for its artistic vibe and a multifaceted identity, from impressive buildings to outdoor spaces. I was pleased to focus on its promising culinary potential. Meticulous in maintaining their confidentiality, Michelin inspectors are already in the field, making dining reservations anonymously and paying for all their meals to ensure they are treated the same as any other customer.
The fusion of flavours and cultures, influences from the Pacific Rim threaded through, and the abundance of the freshest ingredients from the ocean and land make the dining experience in Vancouver something very special, said Royce Chwin, President and CEO of Destination Vancouver. We have long enjoyed tremendous acclaim for our culinary scene, and the MICHELIN Guide Vancouver further elevates the city’s reputation as a global dining destination.
We were delighted that Vancouver is now a culinary destination for aspiring young chefs who want to train under the guidance of a MICHELIN-Starred team.
The upcoming Vancouver restaurant selection will follow Michelin’s historical methodology, based on five universal criteria, to ensure each destinations selection equity one quality products, two harmonies of flavours, three the mastery of cooking techniques, four the personality of the chef in the cuisine five consistency between each visit each restaurant is inspected several times a year.
