Is Cosme a Michelin Star?

The culinary world has long been fascinated by the idea of Michelin stars, the highest form of recognition for a restaurant. The Michelin Guide is one of the most prestigious guides in the world and is published annually by the renowned tire company.

Michelin stars are awarded to restaurants based on a number of criteria such as quality of food, innovation, presentation, flavor and overall dining experience. Restaurants that receive one star are “a very good restaurant in its category”; two stars indicate “excellent cooking, worth a detour”; and three stars denote “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.”
