The 2021 MICHELIN Star Revelation for Nordic countries will be postponed to spring 2021
The MICHELIN Guide has decided to move the date of the reveal of its 2021 edition for the Nordic Countries from February 8 to later in spring 2021.
The unveil will take place via a digital presentation organized together with the Region of Stavanger and Rogaland. Due to the prevailing pandemic and the different rules that the Nordic countries have to comply with, it is becoming more difficult to keep going with large gatherings of people in one place.
“ The past year has been extremely challenging for the restaurant industry around the world. Despite that, our teams have been really impressed by the level of commitment, dedication and creativity that chefs and their teams have demonstrated to overcome the crisis and its effects, alongside continuing to propose incredible gastronomic experiences. By maintaining our 2021 selection of restaurants to be unveiled in spring, it is exactly what we want to celebrate, as well as draw attention to the whole industry” says Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides.
The talent, adaptability and determination that chefs and restaurateurs in the Nordic region have shown during the pandemic are signs of an industry with enormous resilience. An industry the MICHELIN Guide wants to support by highlighting its best talents, alongside encouraging gourmets to rediscover the pleasure of fine dining and dining-out.
In addition to the famous Stars, the digital launch will also focus on the new MICHELIN Green Stars awarded to restaurants that have a deep commitment to sustainable gastronomy. And for the third year in a row, specific Awards will also be presented to chefs who influence the industry in different ways.
“The Region of Stavanger and Rogaland, have been chosen as hosts and partners for the digital MICHELIN Guide launch in spring 2021. We look forward to being a partner with the MICHELIN Guide at this important event for the Stavanger region. We have fantastic restaurants with some of Norway's best chefs and a region with a delicious selection of sought-after ingredients. With the MICHELIN Guide's attention, we are once again establishing ourselves as a very exciting destination for dining experiences. We look forward to a digital presentation together”, says Elisabeth Saupstad Tourism Director in the Stavanger Region.
Practical information and details, including precise date, format of the presentation and links will be confirmed closer to the event.
