How many Michelin-rated restaurants are in Sacramento? Here’s the latest 2022 guide

Several Sacramento-area establishments received a coveted spot on the 2022 California Michelin Guide, two receiving star status.

The annual Michelin Guide recognizes premier restaurants “offering outstanding cooking.” Three Michelin stars deem a restaurant has “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey.” Two stars mean the food is excellent and “worth a detour.” And one star regards a restaurant to have “high quality cooking, worth a stop”

Two restaurants in Sacramento have a one-star rating. Localis, a California cuisine restaurant, recently joined The Kitchen, known for its farm-to-fork dining, on the Michelin Guide. The Kitchen received its Michelin recognition in 2019.

They are among 70 restaurants that have one star and a total of 599 the guide recognized overall.
