Experience MICHELIN Guide restaurants from the comfort of home with DoorDash
DoorDash Canada is the exclusive on-demand delivery platform partner of the MICHELIN Guide Toronto
TORONTO, Sept. 14, 2022 /CNW/ - Starting today, Torontonians can experience a Michelin-rated restaurant meal from the comfort of their home, in an exclusive partnership with DoorDash in Canada. Following the MICHELIN Guide and Destination Toronto's inaugural event yesterday, the MICHELIN Guide Toronto includes local favourites like Amal, Fat Pasha, Favorites, Puerto Bravo and many more available on DoorDash for delivery. From charming cafes to high-end dining experiences, DoorDash is elevating restaurant delivery in the city for everybody to enjoy.
Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, hosting friends or family or feeling indulgent, DoorDash is making it easy to get Michelin-rated restaurant meals delivered to your door, no reservation or wait time required and a culinary experience as good as at the restaurant.
"As consumers continue celebrating special moments with loved ones at home, our partnership with Michelin comes at a perfect time, adding more sparkle to these moments," said Shilpa Arora, General Manager at DoorDash Canada. "Our steady focus on expanding our selection and increasing accessibility to high-end dining is making ordering from Michelin-rated restaurants convenient for our customers, with one in three Canadians ordering from our DoorDash Premium restaurant selection."
Michelin first launched in 1900 as a sales growth strategy to get motorists out on the roads. Today, the MICHELIN Guide evaluates restaurants and hotels in more than 60 destinations. Toronto is a part of Michelin's expansion into Canada, with Vancouver first selection expected later in 2022.
Restaurants in the MICHELIN Guide fall into these categories:
- MICHELIN Stars: Restaurants may receive 1 to 3 MICHELIN Stars. One MICHELIN Star means "a very good restaurant in its category." Two MICHELIN Stars mean "excellent cooking, worth a detour." Three MICHELIN Stars are for restaurants with "exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey."
- Bib Gourmand: Establishments that serve "exceptionally good food at moderate prices."
- Recommended: Restaurants that Michelin inspectors choose to include in the selection without a specific designation, such as a Star or Bib Gourmand.
- Green Star: Restaurants at the forefront of sustainable practices, including reducing food waste and sourcing ingredients locally.
Michelin inspectors evaluate restaurants using five criteria:
- Quality products
- The harmony of flavours
- The mastery of cooking techniques
- The personality of the chef in the cuisine
- Consistency between each visit (each restaurant is inspected several times a year).
According to the MICHELIN Guide Toronto, the city's best restaurants available on DoorDash range from Lebanese cuisine to Thai delicacies and must-have dumplings.

With DoorDash, we hope to build on the momentum of bringing the MICHELIN Guide restaurant experience to the comfort of Canadians' homes."
