The esteemed Michelin Guide debuted its first Florida culinary manual last year, with several Miami restaurants making the cut alongside others in Tampa and Orlando. This year, all restaurants in Miami that received stars last year kept them, and only one new restaurant, Tambourine Room by Tristan Brandt, was added. And now thanks to the Brightline train, Palm Beach County residents can comfortably zip down to Miami for a taste.
The guide, which was created by the Michelin tire company as a directory for drivers of noteworthy restaurants, also awarded its Bib Gourmand designation to several establishments. This unstarred category lets diners know Michelin stands behind the menu’s quality and that its dishes are at a lower price point. Those restaurants include Bachour, Chug’s Diner, Doya, El Turco, Ghee Indian Kitchen, Hometown Barbecue, La Natural, Lucali, Lung Yai, Mandolin Aegan Bistro, Michael’s Genuine, Phuc Yea, Sanguich de Miami, Tinta y Cafe, Zak the Baker, and Zitz Sum. New this year to the list are Jaguar Sun and Rosie’s.
