The Michelin Guide — the international dining rating system run by the French tire company — announced the latest batch of New York City restaurants to its directory today, Wednesday, April 15: They include nine Michelin-recommended restaurants with Bib Gourmand or Star potential, joining the batch announced in the fall. In this round, the number of Brooklyn nods surpasses Manhattan’s, with neighborhood places landing early recognition.
Michelin will hold a ceremony in the fall — no word yet on whereabouts or the date — during which New York restaurants and their fans will learn which ones land Stars and Bib Gourmands. They’ll find out at a fast-clip event that groups multiple Northeast cities along with Chicago.
39 Clifton Place, at Grand Avenue, Clinton Hill
The Michelin Guide includes this 55-seat bar serving low-intervention wines for its “French-leaning small plates are cooked with intention and restraint: chicken liver parfait with cornichons, crisp mushroom croquettes with truffle aioli, and a bright Jonah crab salad that lets the seafood lead.” Entre Nous opened in 2024 as a sibling to Fradei in Fort Greene, from husband-wife team Allie Prater-Besset and Clement Besset.
Making burritos at Los Burritos Juarez. Cole Saladino
354 Myrtle Avenue, at Adelphi Street, Fort Greene
Los Burritos Juárez has become a fast favorite for Alan Delgado’s minimalist but delicious slow-cooked stews tucked into flour tortillas in a style that comes from El Paso and Ciudad Juárez. They get the Michelin nod for “flavors are deeply comforting, offering a regional burrito tradition rarely found in New York.”

724 Sterling Place, at Bedford Avenue, Crown Heights
Michelin calls this Cambodian newcomer from owners Chakriya Un and Alexander Chaparro an early “neighborhood fixture” for dishes like its crisp whole fish with green mango sauce as well as “standouts like plea satch ko, a Cambodian beef salad with razor-thin meat that melts in your mouth in a delightfully funky, spicy sauce.”
Flour tortillas from Vato in Park Slope. Paco Alonso
226 Seventh Avenue, at Third Street, Park Slope
Michelin recognizes the team behind Manhattan sibling Corima (and the just-open Bar Chucho) for taking its excellent tortillas to Brooklyn at Vato, where diners should try items like “the breakfast-style burnt ends burrito filled with tender pulled meat, scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese or the verde burrito featuring braised pork shoulder tossed with salsa verde and diced potatoes.”
A spread from I Cavallini. Cole Saladino
284 Grand Street, at Roebling Street, Williamsburg
Sibling to the Four Horsemen, this sophomore Italian opening has dazzled diners with chef Nick Curtola’s “nervetti and onion salad, where braised beef tendons are shaved thin and paired with crisp, acidic onions; a striking dish that signals the kitchen’s comfort with depth and simplicity.” Michelin also recommends its “handmade pastas and rustic mains follow with balance and control.”
76 Carmine Street, at Varick Street, West Village
Alexia and Ronan Duchêne’s restaurant has caught Michelin’s eye with its “rich, robust cooking celebrates French excellence of yesteryear with foie gras terrines and vin jaune sauces prepared with substance and astuteness.” It calls out a bar made for walk-ins and cites the restaurant as a wine-lover’s destination.
A dish from Hwaro. Dan Ahn
776 Eighth Avenue, at West 48th Street, Midtown
Chef Sungchul Shim’s ambitious 22-seat counter inside steakhouse Gui gets the recognition it deserves for this standout room centered around his cooking, along with his skill in “fusing Korean flavors with French techniques” with an ambitious tasting menu.
New York Virgin Hotels, 1227 Broadway, at West 30th Street, Nomad
With locations in Miami and New York, the restaurant from chef Juan Manuel Barrientos is named for his Colombian-leaning tasting menu which includes “the ‘tree of life’ bread, the chocolate experience, and an ornate coffee ceremony are signatures intertwined with courses like a shio koji-marinated duck sauced with a sabayon of honey and passion fruit.”
A dish from Cove. Cove
285 West Houston Street, at Hudson Street, Hudson Square
Michelin calls out chef Flynn McGarry’s most ambitious project yet for its open kitchen that’s “constantly in motion” cooking dishes “rooted in Californian sensibilities and tied to the seasons, especially as many ingredients are sourced from the team’s farm in Long Island.”
