According to the Michelin guide, restaurant evaluations are based on "five universal criteria: the quality of the ingredients, the harmony of flavors, the mastery of techniques, the personality of the chef as expressed through their cuisine and, just as importantly, consistency both across the entire menu and over time."

Based on a list from Statista, in this gallery you'll discover the top 30 countries and territories with the most Michelin-starred restaurants. Click through to find out if your nation made the cut.
