List of Michelin-starred restaurants in Poland

Last updated

As of the 2025 Michelin Guide , there are 7 restaurants in Poland with a Michelin-star rating. The Michelin Guides have been published by the French tire company Michelin since 1900. They were designed as a guide to tell drivers about eateries they recommended to visit and to subtly sponsor their tires, by encouraging drivers to use their cars more and therefore need to replace the tires as they wore out. Over time, the stars that were given out became more valuable. [1]

Multiple anonymous Michelin inspectors visit the restaurants several times. They rate the restaurants on five criteria: "quality of products", "mastery of flavor and cooking techniques", "the personality of the chef represented in the dining experience", "value for money", and "consistency between inspectors' visits". [1] [2] Inspectors have at least ten years of expertise and create a list of popular restaurants supported by media reports, reviews, and diner popularity. If they reach a consensus, Michelin awards restaurants from one to three stars based on its evaluation methodology: one star means "high-quality cooking, worth a stop", two stars signify "excellent cooking, worth a detour", and three stars denote "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey". [3] The stars are not permanent and restaurants are constantly re-evaluated. If the criteria are not met, the restaurant will lose its stars. [1]

The Michelin Guide originally started reviewing restaurants in Warsaw in 1997, and Kraków in 2008, as part of its Main Cities in Europe guide, with the rest of Poland then being added in 2023 for the first year of the nation's own guide. [4] [5] The first Michelin star to be awarded in Poland was to ateller Amaro in the 2013 guide. [6]
