Star power: The Michelin Guide is coming to Quebec

Article content

The renowned Michelin Guide has chosen the province of Quebec as its third Canadian destination.

Foodies can expect the first selections in 2025, featuring “culinary gems throughout the province,” Michelin said Thursday.

“I look forward to revealing what my famously anonymous inspectors discover for the inaugural selection,” Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the Michelin Guides, said in a statement. “Quebec’s culinary scene shines a light on the rich heritage and traditions of the province, attracting travellers on the lookout for remarkable and tasty experiences.”

The announcement notes Quebec’s “rich and diverse” food scene, its farm-to-table dishes and its top and up-and-coming chefs.

“Quebec is a rich multicultural mosaic, which gives Quebec’s cuisine an invaluable uniqueness,” Geneviève Cantin, CEO of the Alliance de l’industrie touristique du Québec, said in a statement. “It is with immense pride that all of our partners welcome the arrival of the Michelin Guide across the province of Quebec, which will further showcase our local artisans on the international stage.”

Michelin said its anonymous inspectors are already making reservations across the province.

Quebec is the 12th place in North America to welcome the Michelin Guide. Other Canadian cities include Toronto and Vancouver.
