The Michelin Guide has added 19 new restaurant additions in Florida, spread across Miami, Orlando and Tampa—now totaling 137 restaurants in the region.
MICHELIN Guide Inspectors spend all year on the road uncovering the best restaurants to recommend, and in the latest 2024 MICHELIN Guide Florida selection, nineteen new additions have been added in the Sunshine State, including 5 new restaurants in Orlando.
From key lime pies to Cuban sandwiches, Florida's ever-growing list of MICHELIN Guide restaurants (137 if you're keeping count) is as diverse as they come. With this year's newest additions spread across Miami, Orlando, and Tampa that list has gotten even larger.
This year, Miami saw the arrival of eight newcomers. Those that want a dinner-only spot should head on over to EntreNos, where Chefs Evan Burgess and Osmel Gonzalez serve up a contemporary à la carte menu sourced primary from Florida ingredients. Want finger foods instead? Then look towards Tam Tam, where wings glossed in fish sauce caramel await.
Fans of Japanese cuisine in Orlando are in luck, too. Zaru offers an upbeat playlist along with plates of chewy noodles, while Sushi Saint and Natsu focus on temaki and an intimate omakase experience respectively.
Tampa, on the other hand, saw an influx of more casual spots like the sandwiches at Supernatural Food & Wine, house-made pastas at Predalina, and tacos at Streetlight Taco.
Last, but certainly not least, is Chuan Fu at Winter Park. Expect a large Szechuan menu filled with classics that bring the heat with every dish.
These restaurants have the possibility of receiving Stars or Bib Gourmands in the upcoming Michelin Guide Ceremony, which will be held in Tampa, on April 18, 2024.
Below, get the scoop on all the latest Orlando additions to the 2024 MICHELIN Guide Florida selection.
Zaru
Cuisine: Japanese
This sleek, Mills 50 eatery is located in the same strip as the Tien Hung Market. With an upbeat playlist and an attractive dining room, the restaurant specializes in chewy noodles made from wheat sourced from Japan’s Kagawa Prefecture. Ikura, tempura and top-notch ingredients like Hokkaido uni and A5 Kagoshima wagyu pair with broths of wonderful smokiness and depth.
Sushi Saint
Cuisine: Japanese
Mike Collantes, Chef/owner of Soseki, has another hit on his hands with Sushi Saint. This downtown temaki spot lures guests with its lounge-y vibe and contemporary design. The team takes great care in sourcing high-quality rice and nori for their cone-shaped temaki, and while the hand rolls take center stage, their small plates, like Sichuan cucumbers with chili crunch, are worth trying.
Natsu
Cuisine: Japanese
There are just two seatings a night at this intimate omakase, where a ten-seat counter dominates a spartan-styled room. Meals begin with four dishes from the kitchen, including chawanmushi and truffle kampachi, served with crispy potato straws and a yuzu truffle vinaigrette for an unexpected flavor combination that is especially memorable. The sushi is impressive and doesn't gild the lily.
Camille
Cuisine: Vietnamese
Chef Tung Phan has taken the pop-up and given it permanence at this space just off Lake Baldwin. Rooted in French techniques, Vietnamese flavors are given a refined twist here. Salmon over king trumpet noodles in a tamarind and pineapple sauce is creative, but the best may be saved for last. The sweet potato brioche topped with a "gold" chocolate ice cream and Vietnamese coffee sauce is an elegant finale.
Chris Abeleda
Chuan Fu
Cuisine: Chinese
The large Szechuan menu features many of the classics served in a traditional family-style manner, and the solid cooking shows its skill with layered flavors and bold takes. First, tuck into the cucumber salad, with its punch of soy and garlic, before settling into the Chongqing chicken with its chili and peanut garnish.
