need?

I'm not sure i see the significance of this page. Do we really need a list for this? --ProfPolySci45 (talk) 00:41, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

A Michelin star is one of the most coveted "awards" (for want of a better word) a restaurant or chef can earn. The Michelin Guides themselves are notable -- definitely in the UK and France when the new book is published you'll find reports in national newspapers about who's in, who's out and who earned 3 stars. Many chefs who have been given a star are also notable. They are more likely to become "celebrity chefs" and get publishing deals for recipe books, than those who haven't got a star, they get profiled in industry trade publications, and the restaurants themselves become notable. I don't see a problem with gathering them all up in one article. Matthewedwards :  Chat  01:56, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

I concur, I think its very importantRachelskit (talk) 03:02, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

How do you sort the list of countries and cities? By number of starts in total, or by most three stars then two stars and then one stars? Because the city section is a mess. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.212.29.90 (talk) 15:06, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Content split

There are two separate (recently created) articles, List of Michelin two starred restaurants and List of Michelin three starred restaurants, which appear to be content splits from this article (without attribution). If that is the case and there is perceived to be a need for three separate articles listing these restaurants, I suggest that the split is properly attributed. If not, I suggest that the two sub-pages are redirected back to this one.--CharlieDelta (talk) 04:21, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

3-star distribution inconsistency

The Country section claims that there are 10 in the US, but the City section lists 12 in the US. None of the entries are sourced. — wfaulk (talk) 08:47, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

FIXED. Removed San Francisco with it's 2 restaurants as they were already listed under St. Helena and Yountville. Jameroz (talk) 04:25, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

The tables are still out of whack. Examples of inconsistencies: By Country table has listed for 3-Star restaurants Belgium with 3, France with 25, Germany with 10, and USA with 11. In contrast, adding up the cities for each of these countries in the By City list gives you 4 for Belgium, 24 for France, 7 for Germany, and 10 for USA. I believe someone needs to go back through the source material and determine what the right counts are, because as it stands now this is inaccurate. Keithh (talk) 20:10, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

And I'd suggest the only acceptable source is the current Michelin Red Guides themselves. Emeraude (talk) 10:47, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

Readability

I would like to suggest to use tables to display the information (see some examples in the article). This improves readability, allows users to sort information and shortens the page. Not sure whether to combine all country tables or not. - 13:58, 05 August 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't have included a table with incomplete information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.25.117.170 (talk) 20:45, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

La Pergola Chef

My apologies, please feel free to delete this. I've updated the page already. Vipworld (talk) 05:08, 25 August 2012 (UTC)

Germany?

The little side picture and caption says Germany is "second" for michelin 3 stars, with ten, but the chart and list say it is tied with the US for third, beaten by Japan and France. I'd change it myself but there seems to be no "edit" button next to that captioned photo, for some reason. Some more experienced wiki editor wanna do it? Thanks.

And the picture is not even of a chef or restaurant or anywhere notably relevant. Deleted in total. Emeraude (talk) 18:59, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

What is the point of the pictures for cities/countries?

I've never come across a list page like this one that had so many pictures (if any!), and the ones used (not to mention their captions) are more than superfluous. It makes the page look less like an encyclopedia entry and more like a cheaply-made tourism website. I mean, what is the point of this:

"Los Angeles, California is the second largest city in the United States, the country with the third most three star ratings from Michelin. Yet, Los Angeles lacks a single three starred restaurant."

The pictures of the chefs could also be removed with no loss to the article. This is a list. It doesn't need to look fancy. Those pictures can be found in the pages that are already linked too. This will help formatting for mobile / low resolution users as well.

Las Vegas??

None of the Las Vegas starred restaurants are counted on this page. There is a 3-star, two 2-star and 10 1-star or am I missing something? http://govegas.about.com/od/dining/a/michelinrest.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.84.209.34 (talk) 13:08, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
