Michelin added nine New York City restaurants to its 2026 guide in April, with five in Brooklyn and four in Manhattan. (guide.michelin.com) The Michelin Guide posted the update on March 25, 2026, and said new restaurants are added to its Selection twice a year before Stars and Bib Gourmands are revealed at the annual ceremony. (guide.michelin.com) The nine new entries are Entre Nous, Los Burritos Juárez, Bong, Vato and I Cavallini in Brooklyn, plus Le Chêne, Hwaro, Elcielo and Cove in Manhattan. (guide.michelin.com) (timeout.com) Brooklyn’s group spans Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, Crown Heights, Park Slope and Williamsburg, while the Manhattan additions land in Greenwich Village, Midtown West, NoMad and SoHo. (guide.michelin.com) (timeout.com) Michelin’s “Selection” is the wider recommended list, not a star ranking. Restaurants added now become eligible to emerge later as Bib Gourmands, which recognize value, or as starred destinations when Michelin announces awards. (guide.michelin.com) (ny.eater.com) That makes these updates an early signal for diners, investors and rival operators watching where Michelin inspectors are spending time. Time Out reported on April 15 that reservations were likely to tighten as attention shifts to the new names. (timeout.com) Several of the additions also show how Michelin’s New York map now mixes neighborhood formats with fine-dining pedigrees. Vato is a daytime tortilleria from the team behind Manhattan’s one-star Corima, and I Cavallini comes from the group behind Williamsburg’s Michelin-starred Four Horsemen. (guide.michelin.com) (timeout.com) The list also cuts across price points and styles: a natural-wine bar at Entre Nous, border-style burritos at Los Burritos Juárez, Cambodian shared plates at Bong, French cooking at Le Chêne and a 22-seat counter at Hwaro. (guide.michelin.com) (timeout.com) For Brooklyn, the latest Michelin batch adds another round of recognition outside Manhattan’s traditional fine-dining core. For everyone else, it is now a nine-restaurant shortlist to watch before Michelin’s New York ceremony later in 2026. (guide.michelin.com) (timeout.com)
