Michelin Two Stars 2026

The Michelin Guide has been published since 1900 and awards a set of distinctions that operate on different axes rather than as a single ladder: One, Two and Three Stars for the quality of the cooking, the Bib Gourmand for good value, the Green Star for sustainable gastronomy, the Selected or Plate designation for restaurants included in the selection. Michelin's inspectors are full-time employees who visit anonymously and pay their own bills, assessing five published criteria: the quality of the ingredients, mastery of cooking technique and flavour, the personality of the chef expressed through the cuisine, harmony of flavours, consistency between visits and over time. Two Stars is the middle tier of Michelin's star scale and is awarded far less often than One Star, marking cooking the inspectors consider worth travelling out of one's way for. Michelin revises each market's selection on its own annual cycle, Pearl's count is a mapped figure produced by Pearl's separate venue-matching process rather than Michelin's worldwide total for the distinction.

Michelin's Two Stars distinction in the 2026 selection is awarded by anonymous inspectors working to the guide's five published criteria. Pearl currently maps 9 restaurants holding it.

This list gathers the Michelin Guide's 2026 Two Stars restaurants as mapped on Pearl. Two Stars is the middle tier of Michelin's star scale and is awarded far less often than One Star, marking cooking the inspectors consider worth travelling out of one's way for. Michelin publishes its selections market by market on annual cycles, so a 2026 distinction reflects the most recent assessment in the relevant market rather than a single global announcement. Pearl currently maps 9 restaurants with this distinction; that number is Pearl's current mapped count following its own venue-matching process and is not Michelin's worldwide total for the distinction.
