Who are the Michelin Guide inspectors and how to get a Michelin Star
Envied by many for having one of the best jobs in the world, the Michelin Guide’s inspectors are all full-time employees of the Michelin Group. They dine out often - sometimes twice a day - in order to find and recommend the world's best hotels and restaurants.
Most of them have received an education in hospitality, are widely travelled and have lived and worked in various countries around the world.
The Michelin Guide didn't start out as the iconic restaurant guide to Michelin star restaurants it is today. It was originally conceived to encourage more motorists to take to the road, and over time, its 3 Michelin stars became the highest accolade a chef can hope to achieve.
