Guide michelin quebec 2026 took shape on Wednesday, May 6, when Michelin revealed its second selection of starred restaurants and added four new Quebec addresses to the list. The update extends the province’s Michelin-visible group after the guide arrived in Quebec in spring 2025.
Michelin Quebec selection
Michelin’s second mouture of its starred list is the central change for Quebec restaurants this year. The guide added four new addresses, giving more Quebec kitchens a place in the starred category after the first year of Michelin coverage in the province.
That selection sits alongside Michelin’s other distinctions, including Bib Gourmand tables and restaurants recognized for a “cuisine de qualité.” Those categories give Quebec restaurants a second route into the guide, even when they do not receive a star.
Auberge Saint-Mathieu
Samy Benabed, the chef-copropriétaire of Auberge Saint-Mathieu, was one of the Quebec chefs highlighted around the announcement. His restaurant was part of the group of new Quebec additions tied to the starred selection.
The arrival of the guide in Quebec in spring 2025 did not leave the province indifferent, and this second selection shows how quickly the Michelin system has become part of the restaurant conversation there. For chefs, the practical result is straightforward: a starred listing now places their rooms in a more visible group for diners comparing Quebec options.
Mercredi 6 mai
The next step is the public revealing of the second selection on Wednesday, May 6, which sets the date for restaurants, chefs and diners to learn which Quebec addresses made the cut. For anyone following Quebec dining, the change is now in the list itself: four new names have been added, and Michelin’s local footprint has grown again.
