Michelin Guide will reveal its 2025 Texas restaurant selections this fall.
HOUSTON, Texas — Michelin Guide will recognize the cream of the crop among Texas restaurants for the second time this fall.
The 2025 selection of the Michelin Guide Texas edition, when chefs and restaurants in the Lone Star State will find out whether they’re awarded a prestigious Michelin star, Bib Gourmand award or other recognition, will be Oct. 28 at the Wortham Theater Center in Houston.
Michelin Guide’s Texas edition launched last year, judging restaurants in Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston and San Antonio.
“Last year marked a milestone for the Texas restaurant industry, and we’re excited to continue celebrating the state’s exceptional culinary talent at this year’s ceremony,” said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the Michelin Guide. “Texas’ culinary scene boasts a rich heritage, defined by its diverse flavors, unique cuisines, and remarkable talent—qualities that make it distinctly Texan. It offers something for every kind of traveler, and we look forward to unveiling our Inspectors’ findings in the coming months.”
For the Michelin Guide, the most recognized restaurant rating system in the world, anonymous critics, called inspectors, award restaurants one, two or three stars based on factors like quality of products, flavors, cooking technique, the voice and personality of the chef as reflected in the food, and consistency. Michelin’s Bib Gourmand designation highlights restaurants with great quality food at great prices, and the green star is awarded to restaurants that are leaders in sustainable gastronomy, according to a news release.
Fifteen restaurants from across the state received a Michelin star in the inaugural selection last year, two restaurants earned a Michelin Green star, 45 received Bib Gourmand awards, and four were recognized with special awards.
Here are the North Texas restaurants recognized by Michelin Guide last year:
- Tatsu Dallas: The omakase sushi restaurant led by chef Tatsuya Sekiguchi in the Continental Gin building in Deep Ellum was the only Dallas restaurant to receive a prestigious Michelin star.
- Cattleack, Gemma, Lucia, Nonna, Ngon Vietnamese Kitchen, and Một Hai Ba in Dallas, as well as Goldee’s in Fort Worth, were recognized with Bib Gourmand awards.
