Michelin’s culinary inspectors showed a yen for rarefied sushi and Japanese fine dining when they compiled the inaugural list.
The list of just 13 starred restaurants included one two-starred restaurant, Sushi Masaki Saito, and a dozen one-starred restaurants. Among those 12 were four more Japanese restaurants – Aburi Hana, Kaiseki Yu-Zen Hashimoto, Shoushin and Yukashi.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Ottawa SUN, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
For example, an interesting comparison can be made between Michelin’s list and this year’s Canada’s 100 Best Restaurants list, which ranked Alo second, Edulis seventh, Sushi Masaki Saito 11th, and Don Alfonso 1890 28th. First developed in France in 1900, Michelin guides now survey restaurants in more than 20 countries. In the U.S., there are five surveyed destinations: New York City, Washington, D.C., Chicago, California and Miami/Orlando/Tampa. While Toronto is the first Canadian city coming under Michelin’s scrutiny, picks for Vancouver are to be revealed this fall.
