About MICHELIN Guide Texas
The inaugural MICHELIN Guide Texas was released in November 2024, marking a significant milestone in the state's culinary scene. The Guide highlights exceptional dining establishments across five major cities: Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.
Through the first three years, Austin has emerged as a standout, securing seven of the 19 MICHELIN One Star awards distributed statewide. Additionally, the city garnered 15 Bib Gourmand distinctions and had 23 restaurants recommended in the guide. Notably, three Austin restaurants have been elected as part of MICHELIN's Mindful Voices program, awarded to Dai Due, Emmer & Rye and Nixta Taqueria for their commitment to sustainable gastronomy. Edgar Rico of Nixta Taqueria also received the Young Chef Award in 2024, underscoring Austin's vibrant and innovative culinary landscape. In 2025, Celia Pellegrini of Suerte and Este won the MICHELIN Sommelier Award. Stefan Davis, general manager of Barley Swine, won the MICHELIN Outstanding Service Award in 2026.
