California has some new star power.

Eighteen new Michelin Stars were included in the prestigious 2022 Michelin Guide California, including eight Los Angeles-area restaurants. The stars were awarded after a team from Michelin sought out the best in cuisine throughout the nation's most populous state.

Only one restaurant was considered worthy of three stars, the guide's highest rating. The other 17 received one highly-coveted Michelin star. Two, Caruso's in LA and The Restaurant at Justin in Paso Robles, received Michelin Green Stars, indicating sustainable practices.

Before viewing the new stars below, here's a look at what stars mean, according to Michelin.

  • One Star: "…awarded to restaurants using top quality ingredients, where dishes with distinct flavours are prepared to a consistently high standard."
  • Two Stars: "…awarded when the personality and talent of the chef are evident in their expertly crafted dishes; their food is refined and inspired."
  • Three Stars: "…our highest award, given for the superlative cooking of chefs at the peak of their profession; their cooking is elevated to an art form and some of their dishes are destined to become classics."
