MICHELIN just revealed the full 2020 selection of its new MICHELIN Guide Main Cities of Europe edition. The Guide covers 39 cities in 23 countries and recommends over 1,850 restaurants. Poland received its third MICHELIN star. This is awarded to Bottiglieria 1881 in Kraków where talented chef Przemysław Klima, who returned to his home city after nearly a decade away, uses the best of the Polish larder in his creative, modern dishes. The intimate, century-old cellars in the heart of Kazimierz district provide a fitting backdrop. 

Also, the Ljubljana, the capital city of Slovenia, features in the Guide for the first time. The restaurant Atelje, under chef Jorg Zupan, receiveed a MICHELIN star. 

“After the challenges of the last three months, I am delighted that the delayed launch of the MICHELIN guide Main Cities of Europe 2020 coincides with the gradual reopening of restaurants across Europe following a relaxation of restrictions implemented during the pandemic. These new awards highlight the range and quality of restaurants spread across the countries of Europe. We know that diners are keen to rediscover the joy of dining out. I also know our teams of inspectors share the same excitement and are looking forward to returning to eating out and highlighting the passion and creativity of chefs to our readers,” Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN guides, said.
