- Emelina and Mutra both earn One MICHELIN Star
- 10 new Bib Gourmand restaurants join the selection
- Selection expands statewide for the first time, recognizing 200
restaurants
Today the MICHELIN Guide revealed the 2026 restaurant selection for Florida and for the first time the selection covers the entire state. Notably, this year’s selection features two new One MICHELIN Star restaurants.
Emelina in West Palm Beach and Mutra in Miami both joined the selection for the first time with One MICHELIN Star. Additionally, Fat Beet Farm Kitchen and Bakery in Tampa was awarded a Green Star for leading the way in mindful gastronomy. The full selection, including Bib Gourmands and recommended restaurants totals 200 eateries spanning 41 cuisine types.
“What began just a few years ago has grown into something truly remarkable,” said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director for the MICHELIN Guide. “Florida’s culinary landscape continues to evolve, which led our anonymous Inspectors on a journey from the Panhandle to Key West to uncover the best dining experiences and hidden gems to make up this year’s selection. As we welcome two new restaurants into the MICHELIN Star family for the first time, we celebrate the depth of talent across all of Florida. Congratulations to all the chefs and restaurant teams represented in this year’s selection!”
Restaurant plaques will be provided by our Destination Partners to each restaurant in the coming months.
Here are the new MICHELIN Star restaurants, with Inspector notes from each (Inspectors’ comments in full on the MICHELIN Guide website and mobile app):
One MICHELIN Star
Emelina (West Palm Beach; Cuban cuisine)
Chefs Osmel González and Camila Salazar's cuisine at Emelina asks what would Cuban cuisine look like if global inspiration was applied to its foundation. It's an intimate space, with 16 counter seats facing an open kitchen, but it's their keen perspective and skillful cooking that feel deeply personal. Most of the ingredients are sourced from South Florida to tell a unique story. Poached Sebastian Silver oysters with yucca foam and a mushroom powder shows refinement, while marinated Redland cherry tomatoes with Cuban oregano chimichurri and Florida macadamia milk foam showcases how simple ingredients can shine. The 45-day, dry-aged Florida beef is accompanied by memorable green mango mojo sauce and Cuban black bean sauce, while the rabo encendido, a reimagined version of a classic oxtail stew, is a standout.
Mutra (Miami; Middle Eastern cuisine)
Israeli Chef Raz Shabtai has brought his take on classic Middle Eastern cuisine to diners in sunny Miami. Named for his grandmother, this is a place where snagging a seat at the expansive chef's counter is a must. The menu is hyperlocal and rotates often, so don't be surprised when something runs out. Fear not, however, as the excellent staff will help you discover your new favorite. Some notable dishes include a show-stopping plate of beets, earthy and perfectly cooked in a pool of ajo blanco and topped with a stunning beetroot sorbet and almond crumble. The signature lamb kebab with smoked eggplant cream and tomato oil is pure comfort, as is chicken a la Tunis, juicy and flavorful with harissa-studded chickpea tomato stew and some of the lightest, fluffiest and well-seasoned couscous this side of Marrakesh. Muhallebi, a creamy Middle Eastern milk pudding with aromatic rosewater, tahini crumble and pistachio, is a sweet and satisfying finale.
One New Restaurant Highlighted for Its Inspiring Vision
Fat Beet Farm Kitchen and Bakery (Tampa) is highlighted by the Green Star for its inspiring and committed vision for the future of gastronomy. The Green Star recognizes restaurants that have impressed Inspectors through their approach. By shaping a community of innovative establishments driven to pursue progress in the role of restaurants, the Green Star fosters dialogue and collaboration, encouraging them to inspire and evolve together.
Bib Gourmand
The MICHELIN Guide Inspectors identified 10 new restaurants to add to the Bib Gourmand distinction, which recognizes eateries for great food at a great value. The full list can be found below.

About the MICHELIN Guide
Recognized globally for excellence and quality, the MICHELIN Guide offers a selection of world-class restaurants.
- The famous one, two and three MICHELIN Stars identify establishments serving exceptional cuisine that’s rich in flavor, remarkably executed and infused with the personality of a talented chef.
- The Bib Gourmand is a designation given to select restaurants that offer good quality food for a good value – often known as personal favorites among the inspectors when dining on their own time.
- The Green Star honors restaurants that are pioneers in mindful gastronomy.
- Recommended restaurants and special professional awards are also highlighted by the MICHELIN Guide inspectors.
The MICHELIN Guide remains a reliable companion for any traveler seeking an unforgettable meal and hospitality experience. The Guide was first published in France at the turn of the 20th century to encourage the development of car mobility as well as tire sales by giving practical advice to motorists. Progressively, the Guide has specialized in restaurant, hotel and wine recommendations. Michelin’s inspectors still use the same criteria and manner of selection that were used by the inspectors in the very beginning.
The restaurant selections join the MICHELIN Guide selection of hotels, which features the most unique and exciting places to stay around the world. Visit the MICHELIN Guide website, or download the free app for iOS and Android, to discover every restaurant in the selection and book an amazing hotel.
Thanks to the rigorous MICHELIN Guide selection process that is applied independently and consistently in more than 60 destinations, the MICHELIN Guide has become an international benchmark in fine dining.
All restaurants in the Guide are recommended by Michelin’s anonymous inspectors, who are trained to apply the same time-tested methods used by Michelin inspectors for many decades throughout the world. This ensures a uniform, international standard of excellence. As a further guarantee of complete objectivity, Michelin inspectors pay all their bills in full, and only the quality of the cuisine is evaluated.
To fully assess the quality of a restaurant, the inspectors apply five criteria defined by Michelin: product quality; mastery of cooking techniques; harmony of flavors; the personality of the chef as reflected in the cuisine; and consistency over time and across the entire menu. These criteria guarantee a consistent and fair selection so a Starred restaurant has the same value regardless of whether it is in Paris, New York or anywhere else in the world.
