These New York Restaurants Earned Three Michelin Stars For 2023

In the world of fine dining, there is nothing more prestigious than earning a Michelin star. One star means that the establishment is in rare air—there are less than 3,000 restaurants worldwide that can claim that. Once a spot gets to two stars, though, things get more rarefied. As of 2021, there are less than 450 double-starred restaurants in the world. Then there is the ultimate: the three Michelin star restaurant. As of 2023, there are only 138 establishments in the entire world that can claim that distinction. In New York City, which is regarded as a global capital of fine dining, there are only four restaurants that have earned three Michelin stars in 2023.
