Toronto’s 2026 Michelin Guide Has Five New Bib Gourmand Restaurants

There are no new Michelin Stars for Toronto & Region this year, but five restaurants have earned Bib Gourmand status and 11 more have joined the Guide.

The 2026 MICHELIN Guide Toronto & Region has arrived. Unveiled on September 22 at Toronto’s Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex, this year’s selection includes 111 restaurants spanning 33 different cuisine types.

While no new Michelin Stars were awarded this year, all of the region’s Starred restaurants retained their distinctions, including Restaurant Pearl Morissette, which remains the only restaurant in the Toronto & Region guide with two Michelin Stars.

The big news for 2026 is the addition of five new Bib Gourmands, bringing the total number to 31. The distinction recognizes restaurants offering “good food at a moderate price”.
