You don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy Michelin-starred dining—there are numerous surprisingly affordable Michelin restaurants worldwide, and some are even food trucks. However, if you're prioritizing a memorable dining experience over the price, you might be more focused on the quality of the dish or the ambiance of the place.
For those who are keen on exploring top-rated Michelin-star restaurants, Money.co.uk offers a handy list. The rankings are based on the percentage of positive reviews on Tripadvisor. Leading the list is Frantzén, a cozy and inviting restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden, managed by chef Björn Frantzén. Despite only having 171 reviews, an impressive 98.25% of them are either ‘excellent’ or ‘very good.’ Meanwhile, El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, Spain, though ranking last, boasts a remarkable over 95% positive feedback from nearly 4000 reviews.
If you're torn between visiting Restaurante Martín Berasategui in Spain or Aqua by Sven Elverfeld in Germany, the percentage scores might not help make the decision, as both restaurants are tied at 96.12%. However, the number of reviews could tip the scale—Berasategui's restaurant has 1830 reviews, while Elverfeld’s has only 206.
If you’re planning a trip based on the number of three-star Michelin restaurants you can visit, France is your top choice. With five of the top 15 restaurants situated there, Paris alone is home to two—Epicure and Kei.
