MICHELIN Star Restaurants in Miami

The MICHELIN Guide is the most-respected restaurant rating system in the world. For the first time, the MICHELIN Guide selection now covers the entire state of Florida, and an impressive 15 restaurants throughout Greater Miami and Miami Beach now boast MICHELIN stars. And even more prestigious, the 2026 guide includes a Miami restaurant that’s now the first Kosher restaurant in the world to earn a MICHELIN Star.

Restaurants may receive the new Green Star, as well as the one, two or three MICHELIN stars based on five criteria: product quality, mastery of flavor and cooking technique, harmony and balance of flavors, the chef’s personality reflected in their cuisine, and consistency over time and across the entire menu. Here are MICHELIN’s starred choices for the destination.

Miami's MICHELIN Guide Two-Star Restaurant

L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon

MICHELIN awards two stars to restaurants judged to have “excellent cooking,” with skillfully prepared dishes and quality reflected in each bite. Once again in 2026, L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon in the Miami Design District is the only restaurant in Florida to maintain its two stars. Named after the French word for workshop, “atelier,” the restaurant reflects the culinary concept of the late Chef Joël Robuchon and showcases the highest craftsmanship in even the simplest dishes. Its signature counter seating provides guests with a dynamic view of the creative process. You’ll find both tasting portions and large plates here, but MICHELIN recommends the seasonal prix fixe so you can fully enjoy the French cuisine offered.

MICHELIN Guide One-Star Restaurants in Miami

Thirteen restaurants in the destination snagged a coveted MICHELIN star in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide, with one new restaurant added to the esteemed list. One-star restaurants feature high-quality cooking that is worthy of a stop.

Mutra

New to the 2026 MICHELIN Star roster is Mutra, a Middle Eastern restaurant in a North Miami shopping center, that’s now the first kosher eatery in the world to hold the revered distinction. At this small restaurant bathed in creamy white hues and tiled flooring, Israeli Chef Raz Shabtai curates an ever-evolving menu that showcases his take on Middle Eastern food with the freshest, seasonal ingredients. Grab a seat at the chef’s counter for his seasonal interpretations that focus on technique and high-quality ingredients. That could mean anything from lamb kebobs with pistachio tahini to Thai-inspired Israeli Nam-Tok with thin steak, a sunny-side-up egg and mint yogurt.

Ariete

Helmed by Chef Michael Beltran, Ariete in Coconut Grove is known just as much for its daring, ever-changing menu as it is for its delectable signature dishes. The Canard a La Presse is an Ariete experience that features 14-day dry-aged duck breast with three sides. The accompanying sauce is prepared tableside by hand-turned press, making Ariete one of only four restaurants in the United States to employ the traditional French process. MICHELIN highlights the restaurant’s skill, which “weaves together new American and classic French influences to dazzling effect.” It adds that the tasting menu is the best way to experience "creative combinations and excellent sauce work.”

Boia De

The MICHELIN Guide says the cuisine at Boia De is “surprising” – and with good reason: It’s nestled between a laundromat and a supermarket in Buena Vista. Boia De’s chefs, Luciana Giangrandi and Alex Meyer, have created what MICHELIN calls a “distinctive and impressive” menu that features contemporary Italian cuisine. Though the eatery only seats 30, don’t be fooled by its modest size. The rotating selection of pasta dishes, such as rabbit pappardelle, king crab tagliolini nero and ossobuco agnolotti, will have you glowing brighter than the signature neon pink exclamation point illuminated above the restaurant’s front door.

Cote Miami

Cote Miami, in the Miami Design District, is the perfect mix of Korean barbecue and American steakhouse. With its extensive wine list of more than 1,200 labels, this is a place where guests can pair their beverages with dishes such as the signature five-day, USDA prime dry-aged beef, the Butcher’s Feast (which includes four chef-selected cuts of beef) or the elevated Steak Omakase^™ experience. MICHELIN describes Cote Miami as a “highly stylized Korean steakhouse” and recommends the Butcher’s Feast for first-time diners. It's served with banchan (small side dishes of Korean cuisine), multiple cuts of beef and two kinds of stew.

Elcielo Restaurant

Chef Juan Manuel Barrientos' Colombian heritage is on full display at Elcielo Restaurant, in the Brickell area. Guests should expect a culinary experience that engages all five senses from the very first course of the 18-course Experience menu. Served with a modern twist, dishes are presented in a dramatic fashion with options such as the tableside Chocotherapy, where guests wash their hands with chocolate, and the Tree of Life yucca bread service.

Hiden

Hiden is hidden in more than just its name. Chef Seijun Okano's eight-seat counter is located behind a taco stand in Wynwood, and its secret door is only accessible with a time-sensitive passcode. The chef-selected eight- to 10-course menu includes hot and cold dishes, sushi and dessert and is updated periodically to accommodate changes in the availability of seasonal ingredients. The omakase restaurant pays homage to its Japanese roots and includes cuisine made with high-quality ingredients, many flown in from Japan.

Le Jardinier

Chef Alain Verzeroli’s Le Jardinier is stylishly decorated with a dining room described by MICHELIN as “a celebration of the seasons.” The Miami Design District restaurant’s French contemporary cuisine is lauded as “a study of vibrant tastes and smart compositions that pack big flavor minus the heaviness.” The vegetable-driven menu also includes sustainable seafood, poultry and meat selections. At this retro-glam, light-filled restaurant designed by architect Pierre-Yves Rochon, be sure to enjoy a high-quality spirit, fortified wine or carefully thought-out non-alcoholic beverage.

Los Félix

Modern, organic and youthful, Los Félix features Mexican cuisine served amid vibrant décor and plenty of art. MICHELIN highlights the pork cheek carnitas with several salsas, grilled octopus with beetroot mole, and a raw, vegan chocolate tart. The Coconut Grove restaurant honors the traditions of the indigenous heritages by cultivating a multisensory experience embedded in time-honored native ingredients, biodynamic wines and craft beers, and an inviting atmosphere influenced by curated music.

Shingo

Sushi maestro Shingo Akikuni is no stranger to MICHELIN stars, having previously presided over the award-winning omakase at HIDEN. With Shingo, the chef has curated his namesake culinary experience at the La Palma Building, a historic landmark in Coral Gables. The serene restaurant features a 14-seat hinoki wood counter and a beautifully orchestrated 18-course menu, highlighting seasonal ingredients locally sourced in Florida and throughout Japan. MICHELIN applauds the restaurant’s fish, which is almost entirely sourced from Japan and presented with a dash of nikiri. Its recent special of high-grade tuna from Aomori, Japan and decadent chawanmushi with matsutake was lauded by MICHELIN.

Stubborn Seed

Top Chef Season 13 winner Jeremy Ford’s Stubborn Seed features American cuisine with a contemporary twist in Miami Beach’s South of Fifth neighborhood. Dishes are artfully presented and just as delicious as they are beautiful. Though the à la carte bar menu, eight-course tasting menu and desserts are frequently updated, MICHELIN recommends truffle chicken, a signature dish, as well as yellowfin crudo. While your meal will undoubtedly be the focus of your visit, be sure to try a cocktail, whiskey or sake drink.

Tambourine Room by Tristan Brandt

An intimate space tucked inside the Carillon Miami Wellness Resort in North Beach, Tambourine Room by Tristan Brandt seats only 18 people. It’s open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday, and reservations are a must. Diners are offered a 10-course tasting menu highlighting contemporary French cuisine with Asian influences. The seasonal menus feature locally sourced ingredients and thoughtfully considered wine-pairing options.

The Surf Club Restaurant

The Surf Club Restaurant, led by Chef Thomas Keller and located in the Four Seasons Hotel at The Surf Club in Surfside, serves classic Continental cuisine for the modern diner. Old-school glamour shines brilliantly throughout the historic property without feeling stuffy. MICHELIN suggests the scallop crudo with buttermilk-basil dressing and the Maine lobster thermidor with sauce Américaine. Don’t overlook the decadent pastas and steaks served with a myriad of sauces. Indulge in The Surf Club Restaurant’s extensive wine and cocktail menu and toast to the good life.

Ogawa

Located in Little River, Ogawa features an omakase of cooked dishes and nigiri that showcases clean ingredients and the time-honored techniques of Edomae cuisine. The menu begins with small dishes that highlight seasonal ingredients. Then you’ll enjoy 8 to 10 nigiri, a hand roll, miso soup and dessert. MICHELIN says the Japanese-style herring roe, balanced nigiri, and squid topped with osetra caviar and dusted with sansho pepper are testaments to the chefs’ skills. To complement the exemplary food, Ogawa has a curated selection of classic wines, artisanal sakes and rare Japanese whiskies as well as a private Japanese garden.

Miami's MICHELIN Guide Green-Star Restaurants 

Three restaurants in Greater Miami and Miami Beach retained their dignified MICHELIN green star. Restaurants with green stars are noted for their exceptional food and remarkable dedication to eco-friendly practices, such as collaborating with sustainable producers and suppliers to minimize waste and eliminate the use of non-recyclable materials.

Krüs Kitchen & Los Félix

Located in Coconut Grove, Krüs Kitchen serves, market-driven food and organic wines sourced from small farms. The restaurant focuses on consciously curated ingredients and building relationships with farmers and vendors to support the production of vegetables and local fish species. It uses only grass-fed/grass-finished meats, lamb and heritage pork and is committed to eliminating the use of seed oils. The establishment also offers customers a retail space, and a percentage of sales go to its nonprofit to serve community needs. MICHELIN highlights Krüs Kitchen’s wild-caught crab and cilantro aioli with smoked coconut rice. 

In addition to its one MICHELIN star, Los Félix (Krüs Kitchen's sister restaurant located downstairs) also retained a green star in 2026 for its gastronomy and sustainability practices.

Stubborn Seed

In addition to its MICHELIN star, Stubborn Seed also kept its MICHELIN Green Star in 2026 for its sustainability efforts. Many of Ford’s ingredients are sourced from his own 5.5-acre farm, which inspires both the restaurant’s menu and cocktail program. Stubborn Seed also partners with composting initiatives that transform kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich compost, which is then used to nourish the very farm that fuels the restaurant.

Bib Gourmand

The MICHELIN Guide recognizes restaurants with great food at great value with a Bib Gourmand award, and 18 establishments throughout Miami were honored with the distinction. Dining options range from Mediterranean and barbecue to Vietnamese, Ecuadorian and more.

MICHELIN Recommended Miami Restaurants

As of 2026, 30 Miami restaurants are now designated as MICHELIN Recommended. The category means that the selected restaurant touts a chef using quality ingredients for a standout meal. This year, three restaurants were added to the list, including Bistro Ocho, a modern Mexican restaurant in Little Havana; Elyu Omakase in Coral Gables, and contemporary Italian gem Mano Libera in South Miami.
