St. Augustine
While the locally selected restaurants did not receive Michelin Stars, Michelin said, “Inspectors also include establishments that aren’t yet at the level of a Star or Bib Gourmand, but still provide a great dining experience and fully merit being in The MICHELIN Guide.”
Two of the restaurants, Bar Citra and Sunday, received the Bib Gourmand distinction, which Michelin said is “a special distinction recognizing restaurants that serve high-quality food at great value, helping diners discover outstanding meals for every occasion and every budget.”

Michelin said that being selected for the guide could lead to future awards for an establishment.
“Being selected for The Guide also means that the establishment is already on Inspectors’ radar, so it could receive other awards in the future. MICHELIN-selected restaurants are sometimes promoted to Stars or Bib Gourmands in subsequent years.”
