Visitors can craft a memorable trip by relying on the recommendations in this annually updated guide with its descriptive symbols and helpful maps. Our famous one, two and three stars identify establishments serving the highest quality cuisine - taking into account the quality of ingredients, the mastery of technique and flavors, the levels of creativity and, of course, consistency.
