34 Restaurants Awarded Michelin Stars in 2019 Shanghai Guide

By That's Shanghai, September 20, 2018

The annual day of reckoning for Shanghai's chefs and restaurateurs is upon us for the third time: it's the release of the 2019 Michelin Guide, AKA the world's most respected (and feared) restaurant guide.

Last year's list ruffled more than a few feathers in the F&B community for being so similar to the 2017 Michelin Guide. The guidebook's inaugural list received criticism for recognizing a disproportionate number of Hong Kong- and Taiwanese-owned chains over local Shanghainese cuisine.

So has that changed this year? Find out below.
