According to an EY study previously cited by the MICHELIN Guide, more than 57% of travelers said they would extend their stay in a destination with MICHELIN-Starred restaurants, two-thirds would choose a MICHELIN destination over a comparable one, and 71% would increase their spending if a MICHELIN Guide selection existed in a city.
San Antonio's continued recognition in the Guide highlights the depth of its culinary offerings, from innovative contemporary cuisine and acclaimed barbecue to authentic neighborhood restaurants. As a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy, San Antonio's distinctive food culture remains an important part of its appeal to visitors seeking authentic and memorable travel experiences.

"Over the past three years our anonymous Inspectors have watched the culinary talent across Texas flourish and continue to push boundaries. Congratulations to the entire restaurant selection.
