Twenty-two restaurants in Chicago earned at least one Michelin star, a major recognition from the international restaurant guide, topped by a pair of three-star establishments, Alinea and Grace.
Alinea is perhaps the better-known of the two, having received multiple high-level awards, including the 2008 Outstanding Chef James Beard award for chef Grant Achatz, and has received three stars each year since 2011, Eater noted last year. Last year, Grace joined the exclusive list of three-star Michelin restaurants in the city.
The Chicago Tribune listed all the Michelin-starred restaurants in the city. The three two-star eateries are Acadia, 42 Grams, and Sixteen. Acadia was awarded one star last year, while 42 Grams and Sixteen had previously attained two-star recognition, the report said.
That leaves 17 total one-star restaurants, including such notables as Blackbird, Moto, and Spiaggia. Two restaurants received their first Michelin stars: Parachute and Dusek’s Board & Beer, the Tribune said.
