2025 Michelin One Star Restaurants: The Complete List — Page 10

Carcasse is the Belgian coast's most serious meat restaurant: in-house dry-aged beef (28 days minimum), charcoal grill, a nose-to-tail programme that justifies the €€€€ price tag. Ranked #59 in OAD Casual Europe 2025 and holding a Michelin Plate, it earns the detour for anyone whose priority is the quality of the product on the plate. Book at least three to four weeks out.

Yoshino is currently the most critically validated Japanese tasting counter in New York City, ranked #1 in North America by Opinionated About Dining in 2025 and holding a Michelin star. The omakase format is theatrical and precise, built around a hinoki counter sourced from a 300-year-old tree and knives crafted by a Saga Prefecture master. Booking is hard; plan well ahead and target weeknights.

Garena is a Michelin-starred (2024) farmhouse restaurant in Dima's Arratia Valley, serving contemporary Basque tasting menus rooted in local farming tradition. At €€€€, it earns its price through the combination of a 17th-century baserri setting, Chef Julen Baz's grilling-focused cooking, a service experience that connects the meal to its place. Hard to book, worth the effort.

L'Écrin de Yohann Chapuis holds a Michelin star (2024 and 2025) and, making it the strongest case for creative fine dining in Tournus. Chef Adrien Delcourt's kitchen is grounded in Burgundian heritage and mindful sourcing. At €€€€ in a regional town rather than a capital, the value calculation works in your favour; but book well in advance.

A Michelin one-star (2024) set in a thatched farmhouse on the marshland island of Fedrun, La Mare aux Oiseaux is a committed destination restaurant, not a convenient dinner option. The terroir-driven creative cooking earns its star, the on-site guestrooms make an overnight stay the right format, booking difficulty is high. Plan ahead, arrive at dusk, stay the night.

Ōrtensia earned its 2024 Michelin star with modern French cooking shaped by Japanese technique and seasonal discipline. At €€€€ in the quiet 16th arrondissement, it delivers a focused, high-precision dinner in a minimalist room; but book four to six weeks out minimum. Online reservations only, the service windows are tight.

Le Carmin is Beaune's most consistent Michelin-starred modern French kitchen, holding its star in both 2024 and 2025 under chef Christophe Quéant. At the €€€€ price tier, it delivers technique-led cooking that outpaces the region's accomplished bistros. Book well ahead; this is one of the harder reservations in Burgundy, especially during harvest season.

Cariño is a Michelin-starred Mexican tasting menu in Chicago's Uptown neighbourhood, opened in December 2023 and recognised within its first year. Chef Norman Fenton runs approximately 12 courses that reframe Mexican cooking through technically demanding preparations; huitlacoche ravioli, lamb tartare tostada, Michelada-as-oyster; at a $$$$ price point. Book the counter seats, plan several weeks ahead.

L'Atelier des Augustins holds a Michelin star for 2024 and 2025 and making it one of Lyon's more reliable choices for a serious tasting menu. Chef Alexandre Baule runs a structured modern cuisine format where the progression is the point. Book four to six weeks ahead; this is a hard reservation at €€€€.

Tout à Fait has held a Michelin Star since 2002 and chef Bart Ausems has not deviated from his core approach: five ingredients per plate, sourced monthly for peak quality, cooked to classical French standards. Book three to four weeks ahead; the compressed weekly schedule (closed Monday and Tuesday) makes this harder to get into than its Maastricht peers. Worth the effort for diners who prioritise ingredient quality over novelty.

Margot is Denver's most intimate tasting-menu counter: eight seats, a seasonally driven contemporary menu, service that earns its $$$$ price through warmth rather than ceremony. Book well in advance; availability is structurally limited. The right choice for a special occasion dinner where you want the kitchen's full attention; not the right choice if you need a larger room or production-heavy service.

A Michelin one-star classic French restaurant between Romans-sur-Isère and Tain-l'Hermitage, run by the Bertrand brothers since 1988. Flavour-driven cooking, personal service, one of France's best wine geographies on the doorstep. At €€€€, this is the anchor booking for a northern Rhône food-and-wine itinerary. Book well ahead; operating days are Thursday to Sunday only.

La Source holds a Michelin star earned in both 2024 and 2025, placing it among a small tier of destination restaurants in the Loire foothills. Chef Javier Rincon brings a modern cuisine approach to the quiet spa town of Saint-Galmier, where the cooking draws visitors well beyond the immediate region.

L'Impulsif is Châtel's only creative kitchen worth seeking out on its own terms; chef Rémi Laroque serves Japanese-inflected modern French food from a Belle Époque building that looks nothing like an Alpine restaurant. Book ahead during peak Alpine season; availability is generally easy but the schedule is limited.

Ancòra is Cesenatico's most technically precise modern restaurant, operating out of the villa that once housed two-Michelin-star Magnolia. Resident chef Marco Garattoni leads a fish-forward contemporary menu with serious fine-dining credentials. At €€€, it is the right choice for a special occasion dinner on the Adriatic Riviera; book 1–3 weeks ahead depending on season.

Chef Julio Fernández Quintero builds nine- and twelve-course menus around regionally sourced Andalucian produce. Book well in advance; the compressed four-day schedule and chef's table option (ten seats) fill fast.

Le Haut-Allier holds a Michelin star and a Remarkable designation for good reason: the Brun family's hotel-restaurant in the Gorges de l'Allier cooks Auvergne ingredients; river fish, regional meats, foraged plants; with genuine technical precision. At €€€, it is worth the detour if you are building a route through central France, but book several weeks ahead and plan around the tight service windows.

Laite holds a Michelin star in a 17th-century wood-paneled stube in Sappada, with chef Fabrizia Meroi's seasonal menus named in the local Ladin dialect and a wine program curated by her daughter Elena.

Come for lunch if you want choice; book the evening surprise menu if you want the full experience. The service window closes at 9:30 PM and the room fills fast, so reserve well ahead.

Il Desco has held a Michelin star since 1981 under the Rizzo family, making it Verona's most historically grounded fine-dining address.

Book well in advance; this is a hard reservation; and plan for dinner over lunch for the full experience.

Moody Tongue holds a Michelin star and an OAD top-32 ranking by pairing a serious contemporary tasting menu with house-crafted beers in an intimate brewery dining room on South Wabash. At $$$$ with only four service days per week, it is a hard booking; worth it for food and beer enthusiasts who commit to the pairing format, less so if you want a conventional wine-led fine dining experience.

At €€€€, it is the most serious fine dining option in the western Algarve; book well ahead, commit to the format, time your table for sunset over the bay.

Orsa & Winston is worth targeting for a serious downtown Los Angeles tasting-menu dinner, especially if Japanese-Italian crossover and chef-led pacing sound like the point rather than a limitation. The $$$$ price tier makes sense for a special occasion, backed by Michelin and Opinionated About Dining recognition, but it is a weaker fit for diners who want à la carte flexibility or a louder group night.

The Cross is Kenilworth's Michelin-starred case for why the Midlands deserves more attention from serious diners. At £80 for three courses, chef Adam Bennett's classically grounded cooking with local sourcing delivers strong value against London equivalents. Book four to six weeks ahead for a weekend table; this is not a walk-in restaurant.

Ajinokaze Nishimura holds a Michelin Star for 2024 and 2025, making it the highest-credentialed dining option in Nara Prefecture.

Book three to four weeks ahead minimum; this does not hold tables for walk-ins.

Chef Jeon Seong-bin and Sommelier Kim Jin-ho run a Michelin-starred counter in Gangnam with an 880-bottle wine list and seasonal Korean-French tasting menus. Hard to book, worth it if wine pairing matters more than easy access; otherwise try Mater or Muoki first.

A Michelin-starred French table in Fontainebleau where a Japanese chef refines classical Gallic cooking with precision and restraint. The 2024 one-star and (843 reviews) confirm consistent delivery. Book three to four weeks ahead minimum; supply is genuinely limited and demand fills the room fast, especially at weekend dinner.

A Remarkable-classified seafood kitchen on the Finistère coast, Chef Nicolas Carro's restaurant at the Hôtel de Carantec earns its $$$ price with technically precise Breton cooking; shellfish, small-boat catches, local land produce handled with clear skill.
