​The MICHELIN Guide sets a date for the 2025 Vancouver Ceremony

The MICHELIN Guide Vancouver's 2025 edition will be revealed the evening of Oct. 2 at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver. Chefs will be invited to learn whether their restaurants have received a MICHELIN Star or another MICHELIN Guide distinction. Attendance is by invitation only.

​"As we gear up to celebrate another exciting year for the Vancouver restaurant community, it's invigorating to see how much the selection has blossomed since the inaugural year in 2021," said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide. "The passion, talent and camaraderie of the Vancouver community is truly palpable and makes it a perfect destination for foodies both near and far."

​About the MICHELIN Guide
Recognized globally for excellence and quality, the MICHELIN Guide offers a selection of world-class restaurants.

• ​The famous one, two and three MICHELIN Stars identify establishments serving exceptional cuisine that's rich in flavor, remarkably executed and infused with the personality of a talented chef.

• ​The Bib Gourmand is a designation given to select restaurants that offer good quality food for a good value - often known as personal favorites among the inspectors when dining on their own time.

• ​The MICHELIN Green Star honors restaurants that are pioneers in sustainable gastronomy.

• ​Recommended restaurants and special professional awards are also highlighted by the MICHELIN Guide inspectors.

​The MICHELIN Guide remains a reliable companion for any traveler seeking an unforgettable meal and hospitality experience. The Guide was first published in France at the turn of the 20th century to encourage the development of car mobility as well as tire sales by giving practical advice to motorists. Progressively, the Guide has specialized in restaurant and hotel recommendations. Michelin's inspectors still use the same criteria and manner of selection that were used by the inspectors in the very beginning.

​The restaurant selections join the MICHELIN Guide selection of hotels, which features the most unique and exciting places to stay around the world. Visit the MICHELIN Guide website, or download the free app for iOS and Android, to discover every restaurant in the selection and book an amazing hotel.

​Thanks to the rigorous MICHELIN Guide selection process that is applied independently and consistently in more than 60 destinations (60+ Guides), the MICHELIN Guide has become an international benchmark in fine dining.

​All restaurants in the Guide are recommended by Michelin's anonymous inspectors, who are trained to apply the same time-tested methods used by Michelin inspectors for many decades throughout the world. This ensures a uniform, international standard of excellence. As a further guarantee of complete objectivity, Michelin inspectors pay all their bills in full, and only the quality of the cuisine is evaluated.

​To fully assess the quality of a restaurant, the inspectors apply five criteria defined by Michelin: 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. These criteria guarantee a consistent and fair selection so a Starred restaurant has the same value regardless of whether it is in Paris, New York or anywhere else in the world.
