On May 6, 2026, the latest selection for the MICHELIN Guide Québec was revealed, spotlighting a total of 13 Starred restaurants. Below, you can delve deeper into the culinary trends that are defining Québec's gastronomy right now or simply browse every single Star, organized by number of Stars, then alphabetically by town/city. The 4 newcomers to the MICHELIN-Starred selection for 2026 appear as "new," so you can easily identify the country’s newest sought-after restaurants.
Local Products are Revered
A locavore mindset has taken root In Québec, applying to everything from produce grown on Île d’Orléans for Québec City restaurants like Coteau, to foraging right outside the restaurant’s doors, seen at Auberge Saint-Mathieu in Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc.
Tables at the Farm
Several restaurants in Québec take farm-to-table to the next level with full-scale agricultural productions. Les Mal‑Aimés in Cookshire‑Eaton, nestled in the countryside of the Haut-Saint-Francois, is located on a rural farm. Espace Old Mill in Standbridge East is also set right at the farm with over 40 varieties of vegetables and a carbon-neutral greenhouse.
Chefs are Opening New Spots
Several chefs in Québec with restaurants already in the Selection have recently opened second locations. Bibine Buvette in Drummondville is the second spot from Chloé Ouellet of Au Pâturage - Espaces Gourmands in Sainte‑Perpétue. Coquette in Sainte‑Anne‑de‑Beaupré is the newest spot from the owners of MICHELIN-Starred Kebec Club Privé and Torii - Buvette Japonais.Menus are Shorter and Designed for Sharing
There are a number of restaurants in the Selection, including several Bib Gourmand spots, with concise menus offering a handful of dishes, all intended for sharing. It adds to the conviviality of these places, including Annette Bar à Vin in Montreal, Le Clocher Penché in Québec City and Baumier in Piémont.
Fire and Fermentation Take the Spotlight
The open-fire and ember cooking that is growing increasingly more popular around the world is also seen in Québec at Hoogan et Beaufort in Montreal and Saindoux Restaurant BBQ in Sainte Marie. Fermentation is woven into the menu at Auberge Saint-Mathieu in Saint-Mathieu-du-Parc, where Chef Samy Benabed’s local cuisine is inspired by Scandinavian preserved foods.Value is Top of Mind
While many restaurants are choosing to focus on Québec wines and local craft beers in an effort to strengthen a strictly Québec‑based sourcing strategy and to counter tariffs, others are adapting menus to be more price sensitive. Le Clan in Québec City features a lunch menu for C$59, as well as a C$39 weekend brunch.
