Dining in Almería - Michelin Guide 2024
The Michelin Guide is a prestigious annual publication that reviews and rates restaurants around the world, awarding coveted Michelin stars to those deemed exceptional. Originating in France in the early 20th century, it has since become a global benchmark for culinary excellence.
Restaurants listed in the Michelin Guide are rigorously assessed by anonymous inspectors who evaluate various criteria, including the quality of ingredients, culinary technique, creativity, consistency, and overall dining experience. These establishments are classified into different categories based on their quality and level of service, with the highest honor being the Michelin star.
