We were more than excited in 2022 when Michelin rocked up at the temple of Chuancai and cast it’s decerning eyes on Chengdu’s food and beverage scene – but the 2022 and 2023 recommendations left us a little wanting.
We had wondered how China’s fiercest foodies would take to being told where is good, by a French food guide in their beloved city? How could they give out stars, in a passionately anti-fine-dining F&B market where people would fight to the death to defend their local mala tang joint, and declare western food tasteless and boring.
The new guide has just been released for 2024, and we noticed not many changes in the stars (except for the SKP newcomer receiving 2 stars) but more fly restaurants on the selected restaurants and Bib Gourmand listings.
The 2024 List
There wasn’t too much movement in terms of ‘stars’ at the 2024 Award Ceremony, with only one new venues achieving two stars and two new venues achieving a star (成都宴 Chengdu Yan lost its star). But there were 5 more places ‘recommended’. Chengdu this year awarded 2 Two Michelin Star, 11 One Michelin Stars, 36 Michelin recommended restaurants and 20 Bib Gourmand.
