Australia’s First Michelin-starred Restaurants are Revealed

Adelaide just became the first Australian city to get the red guide’s verdict, and 11 South Australian restaurants walked out with a star.

Michelin awards 11 stars to South Australian restaurants at the Adelaide Convention Centre on Wednesday, 14 October 2026, the first time the guide has rated a restaurant anywhere in Australia. The room is silent as Anvers Restaurant is announced as the state’s first one-Michelin-star restaurant, then breaks like the pop of fireworks as Connor Bishop walks down the aisle to claim the first Michelin star awarded in Australia. 

It’s the sound of people who spent years saying they didn’t need a tyre company’s approval and who clearly wanted it anyway. 11 restaurants receive stars. 16 Bib Gourmands and 50 Michelin Selected made the guide’s wider selection.
