Michelin Restaurants in San Antonio

How the Michelin Guide Works

The Michelin restaurants in San Antonio were recognized with one of three specific awards:

Michelin Star - Awarded 1 to 3 stars based on food and service with three stars being the highest award Michelin gives out
Michelin Recommended Restaurant – Recognized for serving food at a very high level, but just shy of receiving a star
Bib Gourmand Award – Given out for serving excellent food at affordable prices.

All three awards are significant and, in my opinion, signal that a visit to any of the winners is worth your time.

Michelin One Star

Mixtli

San Antonio’s singular Michelin star was awarded to the very deserving, Mixtli, one of the most unique dining experiences in San Antonio. Mixtli has long been thought to be a Michelin contender as it has already received numerous accolades from the James Beard Foundation and other national organizations.

Mixtli offers a 10 course rotating tasting menu of Mexico’s different culinary regions and is an absolute world-class in food and service.

Little Em's Oyster Bar

Little Em’s Oyster Bar, located in Southtown, is heavy on both the shellfish and cuteness. And they do a slammin’ job at both.

Nicosi

When it comes to Michelin restaurants in San Antonio, Nicosi is a bit of surprise as it has only been open a few short months. But perhaps this means they doubly deserve the award as they have already worked out the operational kinks and are wowing guests with their all-dessert concept menu.

Signature Restaurant is located at the picturesque La Cantera Resort and is the whole dining package – dazzling food, impeccable service, and a lovely view of the greens and resort.

2M Smokehouse

2M Smokehouse is not only one of the best BBQ restaurants in San Antonio, but one of the overall best restaurants in San Antonio. Michelin only got this one wrong in that it wasn’t awarded a star.
