"Boston's inaugural Michelin moment has been the talk of the town, inviting congratulatory messages, discussions of disappointment, and already future outlooks. The teams at restaurants that made the guide, like Pagu, had to juggle the shock of winning, as well as respond to an uptick in emails and other communication about reservations. To be clear, it's a good problem to have, but chef-owner Tracy Chang noted it was pretty immediate after the Michelin gala in Philadelphia last Tuesday evening."
""We saw the boost happen within 24 to 48 hours," after the ceremony, Chang said. "Percentage wise, we've seen a 20% jump in reservations, and that's great. But of course, we still have to deliver, right? People are coming in with heightened expectations, and the pressure is on." It just got harder to get into your favorite Greater Boston restaurant, thanks to a boost in interest following the city's first showing in the Michelin Guide,"
Greater Boston's inclusion in the Michelin Guide produced a rapid rise in demand for featured restaurants. Reservations and inquiries surged within 24 to 48 hours after the Michelin gala, with an average reported jump around 20 percent. The local Michelin roster lists 27 restaurants: one star, six Bib Gourmand, and 19 recommended spots. Smaller venues have become difficult to book for prime dinner hours; one 26-seat restaurant shows only weekday lunch availability and an increase in early-evening bookings. Some larger restaurants retain availability depending on date and party size. The effect mirrors demand spikes seen in other newly listed cities.
