FAQ

How often is the data updated? The Michelin Guide updates its listings annually (typically in February-March). This scraper always retrieves the current live data from their website.

Does this require login or cookies? No. All data is publicly accessible on guide.michelin.com without authentication.

Can I scrape all countries? Yes. Use mode=starredRestaurants without a country filter to browse globally. Add a country filter to focus on a specific region.

Why might some restaurants be missing coordinates? Not all restaurant pages include embedded geo-coordinates. The scraper extracts coordinates when available in the page metadata.

Why is filtering by country or star rating slow? Michelin's search API does not support server-side filtering — adding filter parameters to the URL returns the same cached set of ~52 cards. The scraper therefore fetches the full global listing page by page and applies all filters locally. Finding a small subset (e.g. 3-star France) may require scanning many pages. For best performance, use mode=byUrl to scrape known restaurant pages directly, or use mode=starredRestaurants without tight filters and process the results downstream.

What is the difference between Bib Gourmand and Michelin Selected? Bib Gourmand recognizes restaurants offering excellent quality at moderate prices. Michelin Selected (formerly "Michelin Plate") identifies restaurants serving good food but not yet receiving a star.

How many restaurants are in the Michelin Guide? The guide covers thousands of restaurants across 40+ countries. The global starred list has roughly 3,000+ establishments (1-star through 3-star combined).
