“As the Culinary Capital of Texas, San Antonio celebrates the diversity of chefs and cuisines recognized by The MICHELIN Guide,” said Marc Anderson, President & CEO of Visit San Antonio.
“San Antonio is where Tex-Mex cuisine was born and where the many flavors from our modern, diverse chefs and restaurants surprise and delight visitors to our city.”
“San Antonio’s inclusion in the Guide alerts global travelers to the special experiences they must seek out throughout the city including MICHELIN-recognized restaurants.”
The MICHELIN Guide is the best-known international guide brand.
It says over 57% of travellers in a recent EY study said they would extend their stay at a destination with MICHELIN-Starred restaurants and two-thirds of travellers say they would choose a MICHELIN destination over a comparable one.
Even more impressively, 71% of travellers would increase their spending if a MICHELIN Guide selection existed in a city.
“The Texas culinary scene has proven to be an exhilarating one, with multicultural influences, homegrown ingredients and talent that is rich in ambition,” said Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide.
