Stargazing

I enjoy fine dining as a lens to explore local culture and craftspeople performing at the highest level.

I have eaten at 52 Michelin-starred restaurants, totaling 78 stars. 3 were ranked No. 1 in the world when I visited.

How I count

  1. 01

    I count each restaurant once, no matter how often I return.

  2. 02

    Michelin stars reflect the rating in the Michelin Guide at the time I visited, with some grace for nearby promotions and places the Guide reached later.

  3. 03

    World rankings reflect the list in the World’s 50 Best archives at the time I visited.
