It’s that time of year again. No, not the holidays, the Michelin Guide awards. For its second year in Los Angeles, 25 restaurants have either received, added to, or maintained their Michelin star status. As most fine dining connoisseurs know, a Michelin star is one of the highest honors a restaurant can receive. Michelin stars are awarded from 1-3 stars and are announced once per year. This year’s list features one and two-star selectees. Read on for the 2022 Michelin Star restaurants!
