The MICHELIN Guide is a prestigious list that has established itself as one of the highest authorities in the culinary world. While it has rated the best restaurants in Europe, Asia, and North America for many years, now Mexican restaurants will have their own MICHELIN star.

On May 14, Mexico City will become the perfect setting for the award ceremony of the first selection of the MICHELIN Guide, where the restaurants that are part of the 2024 selection will be announced. Additionally, their prestigious culinary distinctions will also be announced, along with the MICHELIN Special Awards.

Due to its cultural, historical, and culinary richness, Mexico City, the capital of both innovation and tradition, serves as the perfect backdrop for this celebration of the quality of Mexican gastronomy.

Furthermore, Daniela Mijares, Executive President of CANIRAC, stated: “At CANIRAC, as a destination partner of the MICHELIN Guide, we are proud to have made this historic event a reality and to recognize the culinary excellence of Mexico. Because in every corner of our country, a unique culinary story is woven, rooted in ancestral traditions that have been carefully preserved through the centuries. This gastronomic wealth is a testament to the effort and dedication of past and present generations.”

"We are about to share a historic moment, with the revelation of the first selection of the MICHELIN Guide Mexico, highlighting the wonderful culinary diversity of Mexico City, Oaxaca, Baja California, Los Cabos, Quintana Roo, and Nuevo León. All these regions have delicious stories to tell, led by passion and excellence," commented Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. "This MICHELIN Guide Ceremony promises many emotions and will position the country more than ever as a strong culinary destination, full of authenticity and capable of attracting gourmets and travelers from around the world. We are eager to share the discoveries of the famously anonymous inspectors."

The arrival of the MICHELIN Guide marks a before and after for the culinary industry in Mexico, as Mexican restaurants will now be able to obtain one of the highest distinctions in the gastronomic field. On the other hand, with the arrival of the MICHELIN Guide to Mexico, CANIRAC and MICHELIN mark a historic milestone to project Mexican culinary excellence internationally and promote tourism.
