And for the upcoming 2018 guides, Michelin will unveil a new designation worldwide: L'Assiette Michelin, or the Michelin Plate. It's a symbol that will indicate "restaurants where the inspectors have discovered quality food." And from now on, you'll see it next to any restaurant in the guide that isn't a Bib Gourmand or a starred restaurant.

Edited to add something I sent in a PM, and that they suggested I add here:

I am surprised there are so few South Asian places. I think Egg-o-Holic, Siri, Thattu and Vajra(and/or)SpiceRoom need to be included along with Mango Pickle.

In France, an iconic restaurant loses its third Michelin star — pushing national strikes and Iran off the front page

PARIS — Paul Bocuse is a nothing short of a household name in France: The late chef, who died at 91 in 2018, was a national icon and the embodiment of a certain Gallic machismo that never seems to go out of style. This was the man often credited with spearheading “la nouvelle cuisine” in the early 1970s — lighter, more sensual fare that, as Bocuse once said, liberated food from “lots of sauces hiding the ingredients.” He also famously juggled a wife and two mistresses, but, as the French say, “tant pis” — never mind. “Monsieur Paul” could do no wrong: He was feted as the “chef of the century.”

So it came as quite the shock on Friday that his signature restaurant on the outskirts of Lyon, L’Auberge du Pont de Collonges, would lose its coveted third Michelin star this year, an honor the restaurant has comfortably held since 1965 — more than a decade before the birth of President Emmanuel Macron and more than three decades before France adopted the euro.
