Michelin stars were given out to Toronto restaurants for the first time ever back in 2022, and though we're now well into 2023 they're finally receiving their plaques and jackets now.

Restaurants bestowed with prestigious Michelin stars, which are given out for great cooking, receive special red plaques, and the chefs working there get special jackets embroidered with a Michelin star and the year they received it.

Restaurants and chefs around the city have been posting their plaques and jackets to social media in a flurry of excitement and pride.
