There are eight big winners in L.A. this year in terms of culinary recognition. After a hiatus in 2020, the Michelin Guide has now awarded two eateries two Michelin stars, while another six newcomers have received their first accolade. No restaurant in Los Angeles County received three stars (though there are six in the Bay Area).
The newly-received stars include two-star awardees Brandon Hayato Go‘s intimate downtown eatery, Hayato, which impressively won its two stars within its first year debut, and Josiah Citrin‘s long-time fine dining favorite Mélisse in Santa Monica.
