An example of the interior of a Michelin guide restaurant.

This article shares a list of special restaurants in Scotland that have earned a "Michelin star". The Michelin Guide is like a famous food critic that gives stars to restaurants based on how amazing their food is. Getting a Michelin star is a huge honor for a restaurant and its chefs!

There are currently (as of February 2024) 10 restaurants in Scotland that have been given a Michelin star rating. These stars show that the restaurants offer really high-quality food and a great dining experience.

What are Michelin Stars?

The Michelin Guide uses a special rating system to show how good a restaurant is:

• One star (★): Means the restaurant is "a very good restaurant in its category." It's a great place to stop for a meal!
• Two stars (★★): Means the restaurant is "excellent cooking, worth a detour." This means the food is so good, it's worth going out of your way to try it.
• Three stars (★★★): Means the restaurant offers "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey." These are some of the best restaurants in the world, and people travel far just to eat there!
