The process for deciding which restaurants receive a Michelin star begins with anonymous inspectors. These inspectors may visit the same restaurant a few times and, without taking notes, will rate the quality of the ingredients, cooking methods, presentation, and taste of each meal. Along with other inspectors who also visited the restaurant, they will review its overall quality together and give a rating of zero to three stars. When the Michelin Guide first began using stars in its restaurant listings in 1926, it was simply to approve of an establishment as a very good restaurant.
決定哪些餐廳獲得米其林星級的過程始於匿名的視察員。這些視察員可能會多次光顧同一間餐廳，並且在不做筆記的情況下，對每道餐點的食材品質、烹飪方法、擺盤和味道進行評分。他們會與其他也到訪該餐廳的視察員一同審查餐廳的整體品質，並給出零到三顆星的評價。1926 年，《米其林指南》首度在其餐廳清單中使用星級時，只是為了認同一間店家是非常好的餐廳。
