Michelin's review is quite rigorous and fair, even almost harsh. Once the inspection is completed, the inspector will not be allowed to appear in the restaurant for several years to ensure the fairness of the next inspection. Its star rating is divided into three levels:
● One star: "worthy" to visit, it is an excellent restaurant in the same food style;
● Two stars: the restaurant's culinary skills are very good, it is "worth the detour" to visit Restaurant;
●Three stars: It is a restaurant "worthy of a special trip" to visit, with unforgettable delicacies.
Every year or 18 months, the Michelin company will re-score the starred restaurants, and some restaurants or chefs will drop from three stars to two stars, or they may be awarded stars directly. A star rating is a great thing for a restaurant or chef; but being downgraded is a very disappointing thing. In 1966 and 2006, two Michelin chefs allegedly committed suicide for dropping a star. It can be seen how stressful the Michelin restaurants and chefs are. Those restaurants and chefs who are determined to obtain or maintain a Michelin star will be very serious when they open their doors every day, and they will not dare to neglect them, for fear that their inadvertent negligence will leave a bad impression on a secret agent.
