In 2022, for the first time in Canada’s culinary history — the inspectors of the illustrious Michelin Guide graced Toronto kitchens. After much anticipation, an elite group of restaurants were selected to receive Michelin Guide recognition with either a star or bib gourmand. Local favourites like Alo and Quetzal received top accolades for their achievements in the culinary world. Nearly a year later, the Michelin Guide has returned to Toronto with a taste for fresh talent and hunger for bold new flavours.
