Michelin: Michelin Red Guide
built 659 days ago
The Michelin Red Guide has historically had many more listings than its rivals, relying on an extensive system of symbols to describe each establishment in as little as two lines. Restaurants rated with a star ... listed three specialities. Recently, however, very short summaries (2-3 lines) have been added for many establishments, for example 9,000 in France. These short summaries are written in the language of the country for which it is published, but the symbols are universal. The Red Guide uses anonymous inspections and does not charge for entries, unlike some restaurant and hotel guides which are in effect little more than advertising.[1] Michelin claims to revisit establishments on average once every eighteen months in order to keep ratings up to date.

Michelin's unique cross-referencing system ... makes mapping out travelers' trips a cinch. Maps and guides throughout the Michelin collection work together with universal symbols directing to more information. For example, a red frame on a Michelin road map indicates towns that have a city map in THE RED GUIDE. Entries in THE GREEN GUIDE direct travelers to the corresponding Michelin map name and the exact fold number to use. The In Your Pocket guidebook series offers a reference to the corresponding Michelin map outlining the region.

Michelin has long published two guidebook series, the Red Guides to hotels and restaurants and the Green Guides for tourism. It now publishes several additional guides as well as digital map and guide products. The city maps in both the Red and the Green guides are of high quality, and are linked to the smaller-scale road maps.
