The origin of Michelin restaurant is France. How was it introduced to China?

With the development of the times, Michelin sommeliers came to China to evaluate the taste of China restaurants.

Michelin Restaurant is located in Chinese mainland. To be honest, there is no Michelin restaurant. At present, Michelin restaurants are basically located in coastal economically developed cities such as Shanghai, Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. There are no Michelin restaurants in the mainland. I think the main reason is the difference in diet. Shanghai and Hong Kong are coastal areas and were colonized in the early days, so their eating habits were influenced by the West. If you visit the third-and fourth-tier cities in China, you will find that there are basically no western restaurants.

Michelin tasters are basically foreigners. Foreigners can't eat such spicy food, and they can't feel the charm of China's food culture at all. Even in Shanghai and Guangdong, their ratings of Michelin restaurants are mainly western restaurants, with few other restaurants. There are five main criteria for Michelin scoring, ranging from 1 to 5. The bigger the number, the better the restaurant and the more expensive it is, so Michelin is more than 3 stars.

Before China's reform and opening up, Michelin restaurants may appear in Macau and Hongkong, but not in other parts of China. However, with the continuous development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of per capita consumption level in recent years, people have a certain understanding of western food culture. At this time, Michelin felt that his opportunity had come, and evaluated them in some developed cities along the coast of China, and also rated them a little.

So I think Michelin restaurant came to China to see the growing consumption potential and influence of China. After seeing these changes, Michelin came to China and made some attempts, but they still couldn't appreciate the Chinese food in the mainland.
