Cincinnati restaurants will now be eligible to receive Michelin stars and be included in the coveted Michelin Guide. A Michelin star is considered the ultimate honor for restaurants around the world.

The news comes a few months after the Michelin Guide announced the creation of Michelin: American Great Lakes edition that included the cities of Detroit, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis, but not Cincinnati.

At the time, Julie Kirkpatrick, the interim president & CEO of Visit Cincy, told me the city's absence from the guide was due to an oversight that occurred in October of 2025. "The past is prologue," Kirkpatrick said. "I think the future is incredibly bright and I think this city deserves Michelin status. It has for a long time."

According to Visit Cincy, anonymous Michelin Guide inspectors are "already in the field, quietly securing reservations to unearth local culinary treasures."
