MICHELIN Guide 2023 - Toronto - Two restaurants earn a MICHELIN Star for the first time

Two restaurants, Kappo Sato and Restaurant 20 Victoria, joined the exclusive list of MICHELIN-Starred eateries in Canada, as the 2023 MICHELIN Guide Toronto was announced Wednesday night at HISTORY.

Overall, the anonymous MICHELIN Guide inspectors awarded Stars to 15 restaurants, with Sushi Masaki Saito remaining atop that list with two MICHELIN Stars. The 2023 selection comprises 83 restaurants and 28 types of cuisine.

Frilu, which retained its one MICHELIN Star, and White Lily Diner, which earned a 2023 Bib Gourmand award, were awarded the city’s first MICHELIN Green Stars, as e recompense for their sustainable commitments.

“Since the inaugural selection in Toronto last year, we have seen and felt the momentum grow in this culinary community,” said Gwendal Poullennec, the International Director of the MICHELIN Guides.

“The passion, encouragement and determination has been evident, and we see the fruit of that labor today. We are very pleased to welcome Kappo Sato and Restaurant 20 Victoria into the family of MICHELIN Starred restaurants. The famously anonymous inspectors of the Guide were also inspired by Frilu’ and White Lily Diner’s commitments to sustainable gastronomy”.
