On September 7th, the MICHELIN Guide Chengdu 2024 was revealed at The Ritz-Carlton, Chengdu. The third edition expanded with 13 establishments added. The total number increased to 69 restaurants, including 2 Two MICHELIN Star restaurants, 11 One MICHELIN Star restaurants, 20 Bib Gourmand and 36 MICHELIN Selected restaurants. During the launch, MICHELIN also presented three Special Awards: the MICHELIN Young Chef Award, Sommelier Award and Service Award.
“While working on the third Chengdu guide, our inspection team was delighted to see how the restaurant community has quickly regained its vibe. Buoyed by dynamic investments in the food and beverage industry and the construction of new shopping malls, many new restaurant openings have occurred over the past year. While this trend contributes to the variety of cuisine types you can find in Chengdu, it also illustrates the healthy growth of the industry,” pointed out Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides. He added, “The MICHELIN Guide inspection team has been keeping its eye on the local food scene, reassessing and discovering both long-standing small eateries, as well as new openings. Among the newly recommended restaurants, we highlight the tiny establishments which boast a strong local personality and propose flavorsome yet very affordable treats. These places, which delight gourmets daily, from early morning to late night, reveal the vibrancy of a typical Chengdu lifestyle.” Gwendal Poullennec also mentioned, “Among the other trends, we were impressed by the noteworthy contribution made by the younger generation. These new talents, who stand out for their commitment and dedication, certainly contribute to increasing the level and quality of cuisine from other provinces or from overseas on offer in Chengdu.”
