The second-ever Michelin guide for Quebec is out and four new restaurants have been awarded prestigious stars.
The new starred restaurants, all of which have been awarded one star out of a possible three, are:
- Auberge Saint-Mathieu in Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc
- Hoogan et Beaufort in Montreal
- Le Clan in Quebec City
- Sushi Nishinokaze in Montreal
The Michelin Guide awards stars to restaurants for excellence in food, drinks and service. A restaurant can earn up to three stars, widely considered the highest honour any restaurant can achieve. Inspectors conduct multiple visits before a rating is issued.
In the first edition of its Quebec guide, issued last year, Michelin awarded stars to nine restaurants, mostly in the Quebec City area.
In addition to stars, the guide recognizes restaurants that produce “mindful gastronomy” with green stars and it awards the “bib gourmand” to to restaurants with high-quality offerings at good value prices.
The 2026 guide includes three new green starred restaurants: Coteau in Quebec City, Huit 100 Vingt in Saint-Ambroise-de-Kildare and Les Mal-Aimés in Cookshire-Eaton.
It includes seven new bib gourmands: Baumier in Piedmont, Bibine Buvette in Drummondville, Buvette Gentille in Baie-Saint-Paul, Coquette in Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré, Le Clocher Penché in Quebec City and Saindoux Restaurant BBQ in Sainte-Marie.
There are now 13 starred restaurants in the province, including the two-starred Tanière in Quebec City and 121 restaurants that the guide has recognized in some way.
