Several chefs have opted out of Michelin's system in recent years, saying the personal and financial investment needed to maintain its standards only pays off for restaurants with a large and fast turnover.
Nine new two-star restaurants and 63 new one-star restaurants were also announced in the latest version.
The guide's first edition was released in 1900, but it didn't come out during the two World Wars or in 1921.
The Michelin guide is published by the French tire company and is considered the bible of French gastronomy. From its start in France, it now publishes guides covering 22 countries.
