New UI is awful

The newer UI for the app took 10 steps back. It’s cool to be able to customize your Home Screen but you have no idea what’s new/happening with the Michelin Guide outside of the Cities/Locations you pick for your home screen. The guide should encourage people to travel and try new things, not isolate you to certain areas.

Easily fixed complaints

It’s great that this is a free app though we know your getting paid by regional tourism agencies to list their areas BUT why not make the app easy to use by allowing search by name for city or restaurant like you used to. I can only see how to look at a map and zoom in or out.

Sysco partnership

Sysco partnership is a mistake. Anyone can get a Michelin plaque by just getting a sysco account. Chefs are going to be rated on heating up sysco food…absolutely disgusting.

New format is terrible

The new format does not allow browsing of different cities and forces you to add “favourite” cities instead. Please change it back to the old format. The current one is extremely inconvenient and difficult to use.

The search function is still available to view any place you like. This is now in the bottom of the screen and is no different than before. If you are just interested in reading about global spots then visiting the Magazine section on the website is your best bet. By adding locations, you will be able to explore the stars, bib gourmands, local favorites, restaurants that match your preferred cuisines as well as any that serve specific diets you might require. Magazine articles related to that location are also presented. You can add & remove any location that is of interest to and your selections remain in place wherever go in the world.

Copy paste restaurant name

You need to be able to copy and paste restaurant name so easier to grab Google Maps for it

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.

HNHow about not?

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 👎

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!

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.

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.
