Chef Elena Arzak leads the kitchen inside a century-old family mansion in Alto de Miracruz, producing Modern Basque cuisine informed by an in-house ingredient laboratory of more than 1,000 components. La Liste scored it 99 points in 2026.

Brunico, Italy
Three Michelin stars and 99 points on La Liste 2026, Atelier Moessmer sits in a 19th-century Brunico villa where Norbert Niederkofler's Cook the Mountain philosophy restricts the kitchen to hyper-local Tyrolean ingredients. A 12-course tasting menu, service Thursday through Sunday, and a format that moves guests through lounge, dining room, and kitchen counter make this one of the most deliberate fine-dining experiences in the Alpine north.

Megève, France
Emmanuel Renaut's three-Michelin-star restaurant at this Relais & Châteaux property in Megève sits among the most decorated tables in the French Alps, ranked 76th on the World's 50 Best list in 2024 and 98 points on La Liste in 2026. The kitchen leans on alpine terroir — vegetables, roots, and foraged ingredients — treated with classical French discipline and a modern sensibility that has earned sustained recognition from Opinionated About Dining's European classical rankings for three consecutive years.

Cassis, France
La Villa Madie holds three Michelin stars and a 95-point La Liste ranking, placing it among France's most decorated coastal restaurants. Chef Dimitri Droisneau's modern French kitchen sits above the Anse de Corton outside Cassis, a setting that amplifies rather than distracts from serious cooking. Opinionated About Dining has ranked it in the top 40 Classical restaurants in Europe for three consecutive years.

Grassau, Germany
Three-Michelin-starred ES:SENZ showcases Chef Edip Sigl's extraordinary Alpine cuisine at Das Achental resort in Grassau, where modern technique transforms regional Chiemgau ingredients into sophisticated tasting menus. One of only ten three-star restaurants in Germany, this intimate fine dining destination combines technical mastery with serene Bavarian countryside elegance.

Kyoto, Japan
Mizai occupies a corner of Maruyama Park in Higashiyama, where chef Hitoshi Ishihara frames each dinner around the wabi spirit of the tea ceremony. The 15-seat counter holds a Michelin three-star rating, a Tabelog score of 4.25, and consistent placement in both Opinionated About Dining and La Liste's Japan rankings. Dinner is priced from ¥65,000 before tax and service, with reservations by booking only.

Kyoto, Japan
One of Kyoto's most historically rooted kaiseki addresses, Isshisoden Nakamura traces its origins to a travelling fishmonger supplying Wakasa Bay fish to city markets. Now holding three Michelin stars under sixth-generation chef Motokazu Nakamura, the house operates at the top of Kyoto's formal dining tier, where provenance, well water, and multi-generational technique shape every course.

El Puerto de Santa María, Spain
Housed in a two-century-old tide mill on the Bay of Cádiz, Aponiente holds three Michelin stars and a place in the World's 50 Best (#84, 2025) under chef Ángel León. The kitchen works almost entirely within marine ecosystems — plankton, bioluminescence, seagrass, discarded fish species — making it the clearest argument Spain has produced for what serious seafood cooking can become.

Copenhagen, Denmark
Noma holds three Michelin stars and a multi-year record atop the World's 50 Best Restaurants list, making it the restaurant most associated with the global rise of New Nordic cooking. René Redzepi's kitchen on Refshalevej organises the year into three seasonal programmes built around foraged and local ingredients. Booking windows run months ahead, and dinner service runs Tuesday through Friday only.

Tokyo, Japan
Kohaku sits in Kagurazaka's back-alley quiet, a three-Michelin-star kaiseki counter where Chef Koji Koizumi folds Western ingredients — truffle, caviar — into a dashi-anchored seasonal framework. Tabelog Bronze 2026, La Liste 86 points, and near-impossible walk-in availability place it firmly in Tokyo's premium kaiseki tier, operating Tuesday through Saturday from a reservation-only format.

Kyoto, Japan
Founded in the first year of the Taisho era, Kikunoi Honten sits at the formal centre of Kyoto's kaiseki tradition, holding three Michelin stars and consistent Tabelog Bronze recognition since 2018. Under chef Yoshihiro Murata, the Higashiyama ryotei operates across 120 seats and ten tatami rooms, with dinner averaging JPY 30,000–39,999.

Paris, France
At Pavillon Ledoyen, one of the oldest restaurant addresses in Paris, Yannick Alléno holds three Michelin stars and a 98-point La Liste rating, placing him among the most decorated chefs working in France today. His creative approach to classical French technique — centred on extraction-based sauces and fermentation — has kept Ledoyen in the World's 50 Best since 2017. Dinner runs Tuesday through Saturday evenings on Avenue Dutuit, steps from the Grand Palais.

Eugénie-les-Bains, France
Three Michelin stars and a 98-point La Liste score place Les Prés d'Eugénie among France's most decorated classical tables, operating from a 19th-century mansion in the thermal village of Eugénie-les-Bains. Michel Guérard, who died in August 2024, founded Cuisine Minceur here and shaped the intellectual architecture of nouvelle cuisine. The kitchen continues under his legacy, with vegetables and precision still defining the cooking.

Tokyo, Japan
Kagurazaka Ishikawa holds three Michelin stars and consecutive Tabelog Silver Awards from 2017 through 2026, placing it among Tokyo's most consistently recognised kaiseki counters. Chef Hideki Ishikawa's approach draws on a principle of restraint — ingredients lead, technique recedes — and the 25-seat room in Kagurazaka's cobbled backstreets reflects that same economy. Dinner runs JPY 50,000–59,999 with a 10% service charge.

London, United Kingdom
CORE by Clare Smyth reigns as London's premier British fine dining destination, where the UK's first female chef to earn three Michelin stars transforms indigenous ingredients into extraordinary tasting menus. Located in elegant Notting Hill, this intimate 50-seat restaurant showcases signature dishes like 'Potato and roe' through impeccable technique and unwavering commitment to British terroir.

Paris, France
Plénitude occupies the first floor of Cheval Blanc Paris inside the historic La Samaritaine building, with views across the Seine to Pont Neuf. Chef Arnaud Donckele, holder of three Michelin stars, builds each course around sauce as the structural centre of the dish. Ranked 18th on the World's 50 Best Restaurants 2024 list and awarded 99 points by La Liste in both 2025 and 2026, it ranks among Paris's most decorated contemporary French tables.

Osaka, Japan
Hajime holds three Michelin stars and a La Liste score of 94 points, placing it among Osaka's most decorated French-innovative tables. The 14-seat dining room in Higobashi frames a tasting menu built around the theme of Earth and nature, with a wine program ranked in Star Wine List's top three for Japan in 2025. Dinner runs JPY 80,000–100,000 per person before the 15% service charge.

Castel di Sangro, Italy
Reale occupies a 16th-century monastery outside Castel di Sangro and holds three Michelin stars, a place in the World's 50 Best (ranked 19th in 2024), and a La Liste score of 97.5 points. Chef Niko Romito's tasting menus pursue radical minimalism, extracting maximum intensity from single ingredients, with a 14-course plant-based format that has drawn international attention to an otherwise overlooked corner of Abruzzo.

Paris, France
Le Cinq holds three Michelin stars and a 97-point La Liste score inside one of Paris's most formally appointed dining rooms, on Avenue George V. Under Chef Christian Le Squer and Wine Director Eric Beaumard, the kitchen delivers classical French cooking of considerable precision, backed by a 50,000-bottle cellar that covers Burgundy, Bordeaux, and Champagne at serious depth.

London, United Kingdom
Three Michelin stars and a La Liste ranking of 81 points in 2026 place The Ledbury among London's most decorated fine-dining addresses. Brett Graham's eight-course evening menu, priced at £285 per person in Notting Hill's Ledbury Road, draws on produce from his own farm and in-house mushroom cultivation. The wine list holds the Star Wine List number-one ranking for three consecutive years.

Perl, Germany
Three Michelin stars and a 99-point La Liste score place Victor's Fine Dining by Christian Bau at the top of Germany's fine dining hierarchy. Operating from Perl in the Saar-Moselle triangle, Bau's French-Japanese tasting menus bring kaiseki-influenced precision to a corner of Europe that rewards the deliberate journey. Thursday through Sunday evenings only; booking well in advance is essential.

Chicago, United States
Three Michelin stars, a farm-direct supply chain rooted in Smyth County, Virginia, and a tasting menu format that has held a place in the Opinionated About Dining top six for three consecutive years. Smyth operates in Chicago's most competitive tier of progressive American dining, where the kitchen's seasonal precision and the wine program's natural-bottle depth give it a distinct profile among West Loop peers.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Forum has held three Michelin stars continuously and ranked among Opinionated About Dining's top ten restaurants in Asia, making it one of Causeway Bay's most critically observed Cantonese addresses. Under chef Florian Favario, the kitchen operates in the upper tier of Hong Kong's formal Chinese dining scene, where technical rigour and classical Cantonese reference points define the experience.

Monte Carlo, Monaco
Three Michelin stars held continuously, a 99-point La Liste score in 2026, and a position in the top 15 of OAD Classical Europe: Louis XV has anchored the upper tier of Riviera dining since 1987. The kitchen works within a strictly Provençal and Mediterranean frame, drawing ingredients from the surrounding hinterland, while a cellar of 350,000 bottles and 1,000 selections places the wine program among the most serious on the Côte d'Azur.

San Diego, United States
Southern California's only three-Michelin-star restaurant, Addison at Fairmont Grand Del Mar delivers a ten-course California Gastronomy tasting menu under Chef William Bradley. Ranked 19th in North America by Opinionated About Dining (2025) and awarded La Liste's 95.5 points, it operates Tuesday through Saturday from 5 pm. A wine program of 2,800 selections and 10,000 bottles deep anchors one of the region's most serious dining commitments.

Shanghai, China
Taian Table holds three Michelin stars in 2024 and 2025, a Black Pearl Diamond, and a place on La Liste's global ranking with 91.5 points — making it one of Shanghai's most decorated fine-dining addresses. Chef Christiaan Stoop's Modern European tasting menu format occupies a quiet residential lane in Changning, a location that underscores the restaurant's deliberately understated positioning within China's most competitive dining city.

Kyoto, Japan
Gion Sasaki holds three Michelin stars and a Tabelog score of 4.34, placing it among Kyoto's most decorated kaiseki counters. Operating from a 20-seat room on Yasaka Street in Higashiyama, the kitchen runs on a philosophy of subtraction — drawing out seasonal ingredients at their natural peak rather than supplementing them. Dinner runs from ¥40,000–¥49,999; reservations open by phone at the start of each month for up to two months ahead.

Tokyo, Japan
Opened in February 2017 in Minamiazabu, Sazenka sits at the intersection of Chinese technique and Japanese seasonal sensibility, earning Tabelog Gold every year since 2019 and a place on the World's 50 Best Restaurants list. Chef Tomoya Kawada's 28-seat house restaurant operates on the principle of wakon-kansai — Japanese spirit expressed through Chinese culinary learning — with dinner averaging JPY 50,000–59,999.

Basel, Switzerland
At Blumenrain 8, on the Rhine-facing edge of Basel's old town, Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl holds three Michelin stars and a 99.5-point score from La Liste — placing it among Switzerland's most decorated classic French tables. The cooking draws on the formal traditions of haute cuisine without the museum-piece stiffness, and the room's position above the river gives the whole experience a particular geographic gravity.

Kyoto, Japan
Hyotei is a three-Michelin-star kaiseki ryotei in Kyoto's Nanzenji district, holding 93 points on La Liste 2026 and consecutive three-star recognition since at least 2023. Under chef Yoshihiro Takahashi, the kitchen maintains a multi-generational approach to Japanese seasonal cooking, where inherited techniques and deliberate innovation operate in parallel. Advance booking is essential; the restaurant operates morning, midday, and evening sittings most days of the week.

Seoul, South Korea
Mingles holds three Michelin stars and ranked #5 in Asia's 50 Best Restaurants for 2025, placing it at the front of Seoul's modern Korean fine dining scene. Chef Mingoo Kang applies fermentation tradition and Western technique in equal measure, anchoring the menu around house-made jang sauces and a seven-course format that reframes classical Korean flavour architecture for a contemporary table.

Barcelona, Spain
ABaC sits in the upper tier of Barcelona's three-Michelin-star dining, where Jordi Cruz runs a single tasting menu rooted in Mediterranean technique and seasonal produce. Awarded 95 points by La Liste in both 2025 and 2026, the restaurant occupies a garden-facing room in the Sarrià-Sant Gervasi neighbourhood, with the experience beginning in the kitchen itself. It is one of five multi-star addresses in a city that has become one of Europe's most competitive fine-dining markets.

San Francisco, United States
Benu holds three Michelin stars and a 2025 AAA Five Diamond rating at its SoMa address, where Corey Lee's tasting menus draw on Korean and broader Asian culinary traditions against a California-produce foundation. Ranked No. 7 in North America by Opinionated About Dining in 2025, the restaurant operates in the same tier as Atelier Crenn and Quince but occupies a distinct lane: seafood and vegetable-forward, technically rigorous, and shaped by San Francisco's particular cosmopolitanism.

Arriondas, Spain
Casa Marcial holds three Michelin stars and a La Liste score of 95 points, placing it among the most decorated restaurants in northern Spain. Nacho Manzano's tasting menus draw entirely from Asturian produce — Cantabrian seafood, zero-mile ingredients, mountain-to-coast cooking — served in a remote farmhouse setting outside Arriondas that has defined serious dining in the region for two decades.

San Francisco, United States
Quince holds three Michelin stars and a Green Star in San Francisco's Jackson Square, where chef Michael Tusk's California-Italian tasting menu draws from an exclusive farm partnership in Bolinas. The wine list runs to 1,700 selections across 14,000 bottles, with particular depth in Burgundy, Champagne, and Tuscany. Friday lunch service is among the few fine-dining midday seatings available in the city.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong
The only Italian restaurant outside Italy to earn three Michelin stars, 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana Hong Kong showcases Chef Umberto Bombana's legendary truffle mastery in Central's Landmark Alexandra. Named after Fellini's masterpiece, this temple of contemporary Italian cuisine transforms seasonal Alba white truffles into culinary poetry.

Beijing, China
One of only two Chaozhou restaurants in mainland China to hold three Michelin stars, Chao Shang Chao in Beijing's Chaoyang district operates at the narrow intersection of classical Teochew technique and contemporary refinement.

Osaka, Japan
A three-Michelin-star kaiseki house in Suita's Senriyama district, Kashiwaya has held Tabelog Bronze recognition every year from 2018 through 2026 and earned 92 points from La Liste. The menu follows the traditional cycle of twenty-four seasons, with private rooms for parties from two to thirty and a sommelier on hand to guide sake and wine pairings.

Shanghai, China
Ultraviolet by Paul Pairet takes ten diners per night through a fixed programme in a secret Shanghai location, pairing each course with synchronized light, sound, and scent. The format has held a consistent position in the World's 50 Best Restaurants across eight years of rankings, reaching #24 twice, and was ranked #1 in Asia by Opinionated About Dining in 2023. It occupies a category of its own in the city's high-end dining tier.

Macau, China
Three Michelin stars since at least 2024 and ranked sixth among Asia's restaurants by Opinionated About Dining in 2025, Jade Dragon is Macau's most decorated Cantonese table. Open kitchens parade roasted meats over lychee wood, dim sum arrives as ceremonial objects, and a traditional Chinese medicine philosophy shapes both the soup list and the broader menu. It sits inside City of Dreams at Nüwa Macau, Cotai.

Fontjoncouse, France
In the remote Corbières hills of southern France, Auberge du Vieux Puits has held three Michelin stars since 2010 and scored 98 points on La Liste in both 2025 and 2026. Chef Gilles Goujon's creative cooking draws from the Languedoc terroir in a village of fewer than 200 people, making this one of the most geographically isolated addresses in French fine dining at the highest tier.

Orta San Giulio, Italy
Three Michelin stars and a 98-point La Liste score make Villa Crespi the most decorated address on Lake Orta. Chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo works from a late nineteenth-century Moorish villa, translating the intensity of Campanian flavour into a northern Italian setting. Two tasting menus and an à la carte format run Wednesday through Sunday, with the property operating as a Relais & Châteaux boutique hotel.

Tokyo, Japan
Housed inside Ebisu Garden Place, Château Restaurant Joël Robuchon carries three Michelin stars and a 95-point La Liste ranking into one of Tokyo's most formally dressed dining rooms. Chef Kenichiro Sekiya, a Meilleurs Ouvriers de France recipient, channels the Robuchon canon through Japanese ingredients, while the tableside trolley service — bread, cheese, and mignardises — remains the most theatrically considered element of the meal.

Vienna, Austria
Inside a 1904 pavilion in Vienna's Stadtpark, Steirereck im Stadtpark operates at the intersection of architectural drama and Austrian culinary research. Three Michelin stars and consistent placement inside the World's 50 Best Restaurants top 25 position it as the reference point for serious dining in the city. The menu is built around rare breeds, near-extinct produce varieties, and ingredients grown on the building's own rooftop.

Modena, Italy
Three Michelin stars, a La Liste score of 97 points, and two World's 50 Best number-one rankings make Osteria Francescana the reference point for progressive Italian cooking. Located on Via Stella in central Modena, the restaurant translates Emilian pantry staples into conceptually charged tasting menus. The dining room is spare and art-hung, the cooking anything but predictable.

Paris, France
L'Ambroisie holds three Michelin stars and a 98-point La Liste score (2026), placing it among the most decorated addresses in classic French cuisine. Set on the Place des Vosges in the 4th arrondissement, the restaurant operates a tightly structured service with narrow lunch and dinner windows, Tuesday through Saturday. Chef Chikara Yoshitome leads the kitchen at one of Paris's most formally observed dining rooms.

Dreis, Germany
In the Moselle hills outside Trier, Waldhotel Sonnora holds three Michelin stars and a 99-point La Liste score across consecutive years, placing it among a very small tier of Franco-German fine dining rooms operating at the classical end of the spectrum. The kitchen, led by Clemens Rambichler, works within a tradition that treats French technique as the grammar and regional German produce as the vocabulary. Thursday through Sunday only, advance planning is mandatory.

Stockholm, Sweden
Stockholm's only three-Michelin-star restaurant, Frantzén operates across three floors of a 19th-century Norrmalm townhouse, delivering a single tasting menu that merges Nordic technique with Asian reference points. Ranked #2 in Europe by Opinionated About Dining (2025) and 99 points by La Liste (2026), it holds a position among the most decorated tables in Scandinavia. Booking demand is high; plan well in advance.

Oslo, Norway
Norway's first three-Michelin-star restaurant, Maaemo has held that distinction since 2016 and earned 95 points on La Liste's 2026 ranking. Chef Esben Holmboe Bang's 20-course format draws entirely on organic and natural Norwegian ingredients, tracing a seasonal arc from the Arctic waters of the north to the farmland around Oslo. Bookings open well in advance; Tuesday through Saturday, from 6 pm.

Reims, France
Assiette Champenoise holds three Michelin stars and a 99-point La Liste score, placing it among the most decorated tables in northern France. Chef Arnaud Lallement leads this family-run property in Tinqueux, just outside Reims, with a kitchen built around Champagne-region terroir. The Les Grandes Tables du Monde membership and Opinionated About Dining ranking confirm its position at the top of the regional creative dining tier.

Tokyo, Japan
Operating from Garden City Shinagawa Gotenyama since 2013, Quintessence holds three Michelin stars and a Tabelog score of 4.54, placing it among Tokyo's most consistently decorated French restaurants. Chef Shuzo Kishida's 13-course tasting menu is structured around three principles — ingredients, flame, and seasoning — across 30 seats running two dinner shifts nightly, Tuesday through Saturday.

Vienna, Austria
Amador holds three Michelin stars and a consistent place in La Liste's top tier, operating from a winery setting in Vienna's 19th district. Chef Juan Amador's kitchen works across the creative register, drawing on local Austrian produce alongside Spanish and German culinary references. The wine program has ranked number one on Star Wine List for two consecutive years, making it one of the most decorated tables in the Austrian capital.

Napa, United States
Three Michelin stars and a Michelin Green Star since 2025, The French Laundry in Yountville operates a nightly tasting menu with reservations opening two months in advance.

Rome, Italy
Rome's only three-Michelin-star restaurant, La Pergola sits atop the Roma Cavalieri hotel on Monte Mario hill, where chef Heinz Beck has held the kitchen since 1994 and sommelier Marco Reitano commands one of Italy's most decorated wine programs. Recognised by La Liste (96.5 points in 2025) and Les Grandes Tables du Monde, it occupies a tier of its own in the Italian capital's fine dining hierarchy.

Gentofte, Denmark
Jordnær holds three Michelin stars and a place in the World's 50 Best at number 56, operating from a quiet address in Gentofte rather than central Copenhagen. Chef Eric Kragh Vildgaard, a Noma alumnus, works a Nordic-Japanese register that has drawn consistent recognition from La Liste, Michelin, and the 50 Best across successive years. The restaurant ranks among Denmark's most decorated outside the capital's inner ring.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Three Michelin stars held consecutively through 2024 and 2025, a 93-point La Liste score in 2026, and a Black Pearl 2 Diamond rating position T'ang Court among the most formally recognised Cantonese restaurants in Hong Kong.

Annecy, France
Le Clos des Sens holds three Michelin stars and a 95-point La Liste score in Annecy, placing it among the most decorated tables in the French Alps.

Hamburg, Germany
Among Germany's small cohort of three-Michelin-star restaurants, The Table Kevin Fehling operates in Hamburg's HafenCity with a format built around creative cuisine at the highest price tier. Rated 95.5 points by La Liste in 2025 and ranked in Opinionated About Dining's top European restaurants, it draws a clientele that returns for the precision of the cooking rather than novelty alone.

Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid, France

Hotel de Ville Crissier represents Switzerland's culinary pinnacle, where chef Franck Giovannini continues a 70-year legacy of three-Michelin-starred excellence through classical French cuisine refined by five generations of master chefs in this legendary Crissier institution.

Cartmel, United Kingdom
Three Michelin stars since 2022 and ranked 13th in Europe by Opinionated About Dining in 2025, L'Enclume operates from a converted blacksmith's workshop in the Cumbrian village of Cartmel. Simon Rogan's fifteen-course tasting menu (£265 per person) draws directly from the on-site 'Our Farm' project, producing farm-to-table cooking at the sharper end of British fine dining.

Overview
The 2024 Michelin three-star list includes 145 restaurants across 22 countries and 89 cities. Hotel de Ville Crissier in Switzerland leads the list, followed by Amber in Hong Kong and Noma in Copenhagen. The edition saw a complete reset with 145 new entrants, including established names like Arpège in Paris and Gion Sasaki in Kyoto alongside Paul Pairet's Ultraviolet in Shanghai.
This edition represents Michelin's highest tier of restaurant recognition spanning six continents. France and Japan dominate the count, though the list extends from Alba, Italy to Shanghai. The 2024 list marks a significant shift from the previous edition—all 145 restaurants are classified as new entrants while 1,000 venues dropped out, suggesting a major restructuring of how Michelin compiled this particular ranking. Key culinary centers like Tokyo, Paris, and Hong Kong each place multiple restaurants in the top tier. Switzerland's Hotel de Ville Crissier claims the top position, while Belgium, China, and Denmark also land restaurants in the top 10.
The 2024 Michelin three-star guide catalogs 145 restaurants that received the organization's highest rating. The list spans 89 cities across 22 countries, with Hotel de Ville Crissier in Switzerland ranked first. This edition underwent substantial changes from 2023—all current restaurants are technically new to this ranking while 1,000 previous venues exited. That doesn't mean these are all debut restaurants; established names like Noma, Arpège, and multiple Tokyo institutions appear throughout. The geographic spread favors Europe and Asia, with notable concentrations in traditional fine-dining capitals.
The 2024 three-star list reflects Michelin's global reach while maintaining concentration in established fine-dining markets. Japan and France predictably claim large portions of the 145 slots, but the presence of restaurants from 22 different countries shows the guide's expanding geographic coverage. The top 10 alone spans seven countries across three continents—from Crissier's Hotel de Ville to Shanghai's Ultraviolet, Copenhagen's Noma to multiple Tokyo and Kyoto entries.
The complete turnover from the previous edition (zero retained venues, 145 new entrants, 1,000 dropouts) indicates either a fundamental methodology change or a data restructuring rather than typical year-over-year shifts. Previous top venue La Cuisine de Yannick doesn't appear in 2024, nor do prior entries like Konoba Malo Selo or Waterman.
For context: three Michelin stars signals 'exceptional cuisine worth a special journey' in the guide's language. These restaurants typically require advance reservations (often months ahead for top names), command premium prices, and represent the upper end of formal dining. Geographic clustering in cities like Tokyo, Paris, and Hong Kong means you can visit multiple three-star restaurants in a single destination, though booking windows and price points vary significantly by location.
