Michelin expands Florida; Miami 18 stars

The Michelin Guide expanded its Florida coverage to the entire state for the first time in its 2026 selection, Michelin said on May 28. The move widened a guide that had previously focused on Miami, Orlando and Tampa, and it came with 26 starred restaurants statewide, including two new one-star additions. Miami remained the state’s deepest star market, with 18 stars spread across 15 restaurants, according to Michelin and Greater Miami tourism materials. The 2026 results also left Miami home to Florida’s only two-star restaurant in L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon. ### When did Michelin actually expand Florida statewide? Michelin North America said on May 28 that the 2026 Florida selection was its first to cover the entire state. In the same announcement, Michelin said Florida’s starred class totaled 26 restaurants and included two new one-star winners and one new Green Star recipient. The official Michelin Guide site now lists Florida as a statewide destination rather than limiting coverage to the three original metro areas. Michelin’s published Florida package also says inspectors selected restaurants across the broader state for the 2026 guide. ### How many stars did Miami end up with? Greater Miami and Miami Beach said the destination collected 18 Michelin stars in the 2026 guide. The tourism group said those stars were spread across 15 restaurants in Greater Miami and Miami Beach. (michelinmedia.com) Michelin’s own Miami listings support the count of 15 starred restaurants in the market, with one two-star restaurant and 14 one-star restaurants shown across Miami, Miami Beach, Coral Gables and North Miami. (guide.michelin.com) That produces 18 total stars: two for L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon and 14 one-star awards. ### Which Miami restaurants carried the biggest distinctions? L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon Miami kept two stars and remained the only two-star restaurant in Florida, according to Michelin’s 2026 Florida roundup. (miamiandbeaches.com) Michelin’s Miami restaurant pages list the restaurant in the two-star category. Miami’s one-star group includes Ariete, Boia De, Cote Miami, Elcielo Miami, Hiden, Le Jardinier Miami, Los Félix, Ogawa, Shingo, Stubborn Seed, Tam Tam, Walrus Rodeo, Itamae Ao and Mutra, according to Michelin’s 2026 Florida list. (guide.michelin.com) Mutra was one of the state’s two new one-star additions for 2026. Greater Miami tourism materials said Mutra also became the first kosher restaurant in the world to receive a Michelin star. (guide.michelin.com) That claim appears in Miami’s official tourism write-up published after the awards. ### Where do the Green Stars fit in? Michelin’s Miami restaurant listings show three Green Stars in the market: Los Félix, Krüs Kitchen and Stubborn Seed. Green Stars recognize restaurants for sustainability-related practices, according to Michelin’s guide framework. (guide.michelin.com) Modern Luxury’s Miami roundup matched that count, reporting 13 one-star restaurants, one two-star restaurant and three Green Stars in the city’s 2026 selection. (miamiandbeaches.com) The difference between “13 one-star restaurants” in that framing and Michelin’s broader Miami-area starred total appears to reflect geography and outlet definitions, with Michelin’s own listings counting starred restaurants across Greater Miami communities including Coral Gables, Miami Beach and North Miami. (guide.michelin.com) ### What changed outside Miami? Florida’s two new one-star awards went to Mutra in North Miami and Emelina in West Palm Beach, Michelin said in its statewide announcement. The guide’s 2026 Florida roundup also shows Orlando’s Sorekara in the two-star category alongside Miami’s L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, bringing Florida to two two-star restaurants overall. The broader 2026 Florida selection also included new Bib Gourmand and recommended restaurants, according to Michelin and local coverage of the ceremony. (guide.michelin.com) Michelin’s official Florida pages continue to host the full statewide roster by distinction and city. ### Where can readers check the full list? Michelin’s official Florida and Miami pages now serve as the primary reference for the 2026 selection, including starred restaurants, Green Stars, Bib Gourmands and recommended venues. (michelinmedia.com) The guide’s statewide expansion means future Florida updates will be published through those same official listings and Michelin ceremony pages. (guide.michelin.com)
