Tokyo 'top city for good eating'

The home of haute cuisine just got taken down a peg with an authoritative judgement that Paris is not the world's top city for good eating.

That distinction now goes to Tokyo, according to the bible for foodies everywhere, the Michelin guide.

In its first ever edition devoted to an Asian city, it awarded restaurants in Tokyo a total of 191 stars.

That was nearly twice as many as Paris can boast, and more than three times New York's total.

Eight of Tokyo's restaurants won the maximum three stars - only two fewer than Paris itself. Another 25 got two stars and 117 one star.

To add to Paris's embarrassment, three of the top eight restaurants in Tokyo serve French food. Three more offer traditional Japanese fine dining, and the other two are sushi houses.

"Tokyo is becoming the global city with the finest cuisine, the city in the world with the most stars," said Michelin guide director Jean-Luc Naret.

Michelin's plans to assess Tokyo restaurants had caused controversy in Japan, where some commentators had doubted whether it would be up to the job.

Apparently, smaller portion which explains why the French are so slim!

:roll:

I think the issue is that it's complex, involving ridiculous sauces and such.

I never was a fan though.

Italian >*

You've clearly never had good French cuisine.

Oh, and I'd still rather go to Paris than Tokyo.

i pity the fool who don't like toro! (only two of the 3 star restaurants are sushi anyway)

 

[BurnItDwn]

Meh ...
It's kinda Mixed depending on how you rate the "best" city.
Paris still has the most "3 star" rated restaurants.
Also, if you include populations into this, Tokyo is nearly 6 times as big as Paris, so I would expect them to have significantly more restaurants ....

That said, I've never been to either, and I'm sure I'd LOVE the food at both, in the mean Time, Chicago and it's Suburbs have enough good restaurants to keep me fat for life

 

[uhohs]

yay tokyo
