The inaugural Michelin Guide to North Carolina hopefully helps shine a light on a state with multiple cities where the restaurant scenes would rival far bigger cities. In the first year of the state’s guide, just one restaurant received a Michelin Star, while two others got Green Stars and six were tapped as Bib Gourmands.

Below is the running list of every North Carolina restaurant recognized by Michelin—stars, Bib Gourmands, and recommended spots. Use it to plan your next road trip, settle a debate, or find the dining room that matches your mood. The scene is broad, opinionated, and only getting better.
