As of the 2026 Michelin Guide edition, there are 77 restaurants in Shanghai with a Michelin-star rating.
The Michelin Guides have been published by the French tire company Michelin since 1900. They were designed as a guide to tell drivers about eateries they recommended to visit and to subtly sponsor their tires, by encouraging drivers to use their cars more and therefore need to replace the tires as they wore out. Over time, the stars that were given out became more valuable.
Multiple anonymous Michelin inspectors visit the restaurants several times. They rate the restaurants on five criteria: "quality of products", "mastery of flavor and cooking techniques", "the personality of the chef represented in the dining experience", "value for money", and "consistency between inspectors' visits". Inspectors have at least ten years of expertise and create a list of popular restaurants supported by media reports, reviews, and diner popularity. If they reach a consensus, Michelin awards restaurants from one to three stars based on its evaluation methodology: One star means "high-quality cooking, worth a stop", two stars signify "excellent cooking, worth a detour", and three stars denote "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey". The stars are not permanent and restaurants are constantly being reevaluated. If the criteria are not met, the restaurant will lose its stars.
The 2017 edition was the first edition of the Michelin Guide for Shanghai. The 2022 edition awarded Tai'an Table a Green Star which is launched in 2020 worldwide to honor restaurants that are committed to more sustainable and eco-friendly gastronomy. Beginning in 2026, the Michelin Guide combines restaurant selections from Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, adding 4 more cities in the region.
