Michelin announced the winners of its first-ever Texas guide in November 2024, covering five cities in the state, which includes Austin. The state capital did pretty well during the ceremony, racking in a whooping 47 accolades. Within that, seven Austin restaurants received one-star ratings, which indicates dining establishments that have “high quality cooking” that’s “worth a stop” by the international dining ratings system organization. And yes, there are three barbecue restaurants.
