Earlier this month, Utah food enthusiasts rejoiced over the news that some Utah restaurants might earn a Michelin star. And now Utah establishments could be included in “The Michelin Guide Southwest,” which will highlight restaurants in Utah, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico. We do not yet know which Utah places will appear in the 2026 publication. Regardless, the Michelin star rating system rewards restaurants one to three stars, with three stars indicating “exceptional cuisine” that is worth a special journey to get to. I’m sure the anonymous Michelin investigators have their own rubric for identifying the best in food Utah has to offer.
