The Michelin Guide Toronto & Region for 2026 The Michelin Guide revealed their restaurant selection for the year on Sept. 22 and not a single new restaurant earned a star for 2026. The majority of restaurants that were bestowed a star (or even two) last year also did not lose that prestige, except for one in Toronto. Here are the 15 star-worthy restaurants for 2026, starting with the restaurants that have one star.
