Bring back the sustainability green rating!!

The guide used to have a green leaf symbol to indicate sustainable places that source good ingredients. Then, Michelin partnered with Sysco, a huge food provider, and they got rid of this indicator. Please divorce from Sysco, and beware that inclusions in the guide may be influenced from the partnership.

Partnered with Sysco

I can no longer trust the Michelin guide as a standard of the best restaurants in the world. They have partnered with a commoditized, mass market brand… Inexcusable for a premium Independent review organization.

Questionable Hotels

There are a couple of hotels I’ve seen that unfortunately did not meet the standard we expect with Michelin and left me wondering how they got on the list. This makes me not trust the app.

Bewertung von Restaurants und Hotels

Ich verwende den Guide Michelin häufig und habe für Restaurant und Hotelbewertung folgende Vorschläge,
Restaurants: für die beste Küche müsste es 2 gleichberechtigte Varianten geben, innovative und moderne Küche und einfache Küche mit besten Zutaten und höchster Kochkunst(gilt auch für moderne Küche)
Hotels: Hotels mit hohem Luxus, guten Service, gute Lage, auch hier gibt es 2 gleichberechtigte Varianten, große internationale Hotels und kleine romantische Hotel.
Ich glaube ich spreche hier für ein eher sehr anspruchsvolles Klientel. Ihnen weiterhin viel Erfolg!

Bitte aktualisieren Sie auf die neueste Version von 9.0.2 und das wird das Problem für Sie beheben.

Really not worth it

Tons of restaurants promoted but it doesn’t show you the stars. Why even use the app if it doesn’t display the ratings?

Needs improving

Good app, the map is ok, quite slow and buggy. Suddenly the hotel part stopped to work, they do not say nothing in a while about 👎

Response from developer

Guilherme, If you are experiencing slowness when trying to view rates that is likely due to internet connectivity. Since we do not store price data like other booking sites, the real-time pricing may be impacted if there are broader internet issues. If it is happening often, make sure you are using the latest app and reach out to customer service so we can help you identify the issue.

個人的には使えるアプリかと

日本国内の旅行のみをお考えの方には物足りなさを感じるかと思いますが、海外のホテルやレストランに関しては非常に素晴らしい情報掲載がなされていると思います。

まだ日本では認知度が低く、価格帯からの難しさもあるのかもしれませんが、登録箇所を増やすのはがんばっていただきたい部分ではあります。

ただバケーションを海外でのんびり、と考えている方には良いアプリではないかと思います。ローカルの方々が口コミで推奨するホテルやレストランがきちんと掲載されていますし、他のアプリでは掲載されていない場所もあるかと思います。

No offline mode

There does not appear to be a way to download any info. So if I have no wifi and no data my lists would show up as empty and I cannot search for anything. Also most regions have no physical books so no workaround either.

Response from developer

That's correct you need an internet connection to view the selection. The selection is now updated weekly so it's very different than the way the books worked. We'll take into consideration an export option for your lists for future releases,

Requires account creation to browse

Suddenly requires you to give them your contact info and create an account to just browse - even if you don’t intend to use the features they allege require sign-in.
Unless to me now.

Mein Benutzer wird nicht mehr erkannt.

Auf einmal wird mein Benutzerkonto (über Apple registriert) nicht mehr erkannt. Ich müsste mir also mit einer neuen Emailadresse einen neuen Benutzer registrieren. Das mache ich nicht. Kontaktaufnahme zum Support unmöglich, da ich ja nicht mehr in die App komme. Schade. Somit: Adieu Michelin-App!

Response from developer

Das ist für Sie leicht zu lösen. Dies kann auftreten, wenn Sie sich per E-Mail und dann erneut über Google oder Apple angemeldet haben. Sie können uns eine E-Mail an mg-appteam@tablethotels.com senden und wir können Ihnen helfen. Sie können es auch auf der Website versuchen, sich zu verifizieren.

Deleted

The Michelin Guide is not what it used to be. It’s not worth checking this app for politicized recommendations that are biased and completely inauthentic. The 2026 Florida Awards are perfect example. What a complete scam. You are much better off searching for recommendations elsewhere. No more Michelin for me!

Très bien

Pourquoi les restaurants hors de France sont-ils affublés d’un commentaire en anglais alors que je suis en version française?
Traduisez et restez fidèle à votre langue.
Sinon l’application est très bonne et permet de trouver les lieux « amis » n’importe où dans le monde.

Reinzoomen der Bilder funktioniert nicht einwandfrei

Seit einigen Updates schon funktioniert das Reinzommen von Bildern nicht richtig. Ansonsten eine top App mit guter Übersicht

Better add names in local language

I need Japanese and Chinese hotel names. There’s no option to find them in the app. The translated English names make no sense.

Data harvesting

Forced to have an account to use the app. No thanks. I will just look up information on my privacy-focused browser at home. What a shame to have happened to a once-great app.

Great for finding places to eat!

We’re traveling to multiple countries and found it hard to chose which restaurants to eat at using Google reviews. Adding this app into the mix allows us to find unique places. So far we’ve tried over a dozen places and most have been excellent while the others have been good. We’ve recommended this app for other travels facing similar food choice challenges.
I wish the app had a legend so we could better understand the icons and prices ranges in each country. Also some of the restaurants closures are not always clear in the app when comparing the data with Google.

Lots of improvements

Recent versions are actually usable, because UX has drastically improved, kudos to designers!

Une incompréhensible absence !

Difficile de comprendre pour quelles raisons, les Tables de Gaspard à Saint-Crépin dans les reculées Hautes-Alpes ne figurent toujours pas dans le guide. Le couple très professionnel qui a repris l’établissement en Mai 2024, fait des prouesses et les gourmets sont unanimes «c’est mieux qu’avant… »
A minima, ces nouvelles tables ont leur place dans votre sélection et nous sommes nombreux à penser qu’elles méritent un macaron !

Great when it works

Big stability issues… 50% of the time it wont load and has errors

Response from developer

sniper464, Is this still the case? If you are having repeated crashes please reach out to the contact information in the app so they can resolve the problems you are having

Account required

Now you have to sign up to view the app… not worth it.
