Michelin Guide Toronto: Restaurant selections have been revealed

After a period of anticipation and speculation, the first restaurant selections have been revealed for the Michelin Guide Toronto.

The ceremony took place in Toronto on Tuesday evening, and Dished was there to witness the moment live.

Food establishments have now learned whether they earned Michelin Stars, Bib Gourmands (good quality food for good value), or other Michelin Guide distinctions.

The 2022 Toronto restaurant selection was based on five criteria: quality products, the harmony of flavours, mastery of cooking techniques, the personality of the chef in the cuisine, and consistency between each visit (each restaurant is inspected several times a year).

Here are all of the very deserving recipients.
