Florida MICHELIN & James Beard restaurants

217 Florida restaurants recognized by MICHELIN or the James Beard Foundation. The MICHELIN Guide Florida 2026 selection accounts for 199 places (two 2-Star, 24 1-Star, 45 Bib Gourmand and 128 Recommended restaurants); 39 places hold a James Beard award, a finalist or semifinalist nod from 2023 to 2026, or an America's Classics award.

What counts as an honor here

Two sources, both reported as facts rather than scores. One is MICHELIN's first statewide Florida selection, announced May 28, 2026. The other is the James Beard Foundation: its awards and its finalist and semifinalist nods from 2023 to 2026, plus America's Classics awards from any year (2 places). Finalists and semifinalists are labeled as exactly that, not as winners. A restaurant that has closed since it was honored is off the list, and where an honor went to a chef or a restaurant group instead of the restaurant, the line under the place says so. Reader polls, "best of" roundups and review-site stars don't count. 5 restaurants also hold a MICHELIN Green Star from the 2026 selection, an honor MICHELIN is phasing out during 2026.
