The MICHELIN Guide France & Monaco to reveal its 2026 restaurant selection in Monaco

For the first time, Monaco will host the MICHELIN Guide France & Monaco Ceremony, an emblematic event during which the newly starred restaurants and the winners of the Special Awards for the 2026 selection will be announced.

This initiative is part of efforts jointly led by the Principality of Monaco and La Société des Bains de Mer–the event’s partners. Their commitment reflects our shared determination to showcase the region through its gastronomy.

This edition marks an important milestone in the history of the Guide: for the fifth year in a row, the ceremony will celebrate the territories highlighted in the French and Monegasque selections. The choice of Monaco, a Mecca of haute gastronomie, perfectly illustrates this intention.

Featured in the MICHELIN Guide France & Monaco since its very first edition in 1900, the Principality of Monaco is a benchmark in terms of gastronomy and art of living. Today, spearheaded by internationally renowned chefs, its culinary scene continues to shine thanks to its audacity, creativity and openness to global trends.

By hosting the MICHELIN Guide France & Monaco Ceremony in Monaco for the first time, we are honoring one of the Guide’s historic destinations, whose gastronomic scene epitomizes excellence, creativity and international reach. After holding our ceremony in emblematic locations in western and eastern France and the Loire Valley, we are delighted to bring together the country’s most illustrious gastronomic talents in the generous Southeast–which is part of a living culinary heritage that we are proud to promote.

International Director of the MICHELIN Guides

The event will bring together all the chefs whose establishments have been recognized in the 2026 selection, along with numerous other prominent figures from the world of gastronomy, including industry professionals, representatives of institutions committed to promoting culinary culture and journalists from France and abroad.

The ceremony will be broadcast live on the MICHELIN Guide’s social networks, allowing as many people as possible to share this unique moment of celebration.

The detailed program will be released in the weeks leading up to the event.
