List of Michelin-starred restaurants in Chicago

This article contains a list of Michelin-starred restaurants in Chicago since 2011. Chicago was the fifth US city to be chosen to have a dedicated Michelin Guide in 2011, after New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Las Vegas, although the Las Vegas guide was later discontinued.[1] Although earlier editions included restaurants from the suburbs, since 2013, all the restaurants have been located within the city proper.[2]

As of the 2023 guide, there are 21 restaurants in Chicago with a Michelin-star rating, a rating system used by the Michelin Guide to grade restaurants based on their quality.
