The Michelin Guide has added five Chicago restaurants to its 2025 list, making them eligible for Bib Gourmand or Michelin Star status. These new additions, including Mirra, Nadu, and Taqueria Chingón, highlight South Asian and Mexican flavors. The Michelin Guide aims to build anticipation with these announcements ahead of its annual star reveal event. The guide currently features 21 Michelin-starred restaurants in Chicago, with awards recognizing fine dining as well as affordable eateries through the Bib Gourmand designation established in 1997.
In recent years, Michelin has drummed up more attention by announcing new additions, a precursor to the tire guide's party, held last year in December in New York.
Stars traditionally recognize fine dining and are viewed by many as one of the top honors a restaurant can achieve.
Chicago currently has 21 Michelin-starred restaurants, with two - Alinea and Smyth - earning the maximum three-star rating.
The Bib Gourmand designation debuted in 1997 as a way to recognize restaurants with affordable prices and quality food.
