What is the Michelin Guide

Before the existence of smartphones and their applications that make life easier, there were some curious books called “guides” that included everything necessary to make life easier for travelers: maps, emergency telephones and recommendations to stay or eat. In Mexico there was for example the Roji Guide (which has returned to circulation and even has an app ).

The Michelin Guide was created in 1900 by the brothers André and Edouard Michelin (founders of the homonymous tire company) who provided motorists with a small guide to facilitate travel. This included maps, instructions to change a wheel, where to load fuel and a list of places to eat and stay.

The first edition was only published in France and in subsequent years guides were created for the rest of Europe (Spain and Portugal, Holland, Italy, and more recently Tokyo, San Francisco and New York).

Being a pioneer, the Michelin Guide became the most important publication of its kind; It adopted a rigorous selection process that is carried out by anonymous and professional inspectors with excellent training.

More than 100 years later, it is still valid and although the guides are no longer used in the same way, the Michelin Guide continues to dictate which restaurants are “the best” and recognizing the chefs for their work and innovation in the kitchen.
