For over a century, MICHELIN has been producing luxury guides to encourage road trippers to wholly explore their destinations. And, while originally limited to France, it has since expanded to encompass the world. Now, travelers as far as Canada — whether by road, rail, or luxury transport beyond — can plan an elegant affair from dawn to dusk and dusk to dawn.
MICHELIN has long been recognized as the pinnacle of luxury recognition, offering accolades to the finest of fine dining around the world. And, while including hotels in their listings since the start, in 2024, they expanded their awards — creating ‘Keys’ to include hotels — cementing them as a great way to inspire your travel plans with a turn for the luxurious.
Canada By Design seeks out the best properties for our guests, working with MICHELIN Guide-winning properties from coast to coast, and connecting them by way of tours, rail travel, and road trips.
Whether planning an elaborate once-in-a-lifetime trip through Canada, a shorter destination stay, or suggesting a meal to remember along the way, your personal Travel Designer works with you to ensure every touch meets the highest standards, shaped by their expert guidance and local insight.
The MICHELIN Guide
The first MICHELIN Guide was published in 1900 by the tire company looking to develop trips for drivers. The MICHELIN Star was first introduced in 1926, marking the official start of MICHELIN's restaurant rating system, and the MICHELIN Key in 2024.

MICHELIN Rating System for Hotels
While the MICHELIN Guide has always included must-stay hotels, MICHELIN Keys are reserved for hotels that exemplify the very best in worldwide hospitality.
- One MICHELIN Key is given for 'a very special stay'. These properties stand apart from the crowd, going above and beyond those around it.
- Two MICHELIN Keys signify 'an exceptional stay'. They enhance the experience of the region in which they reside, offering something unique in the process.
- Three MICHELIN Keys is the highest accolade, commemorating truly 'extraordinary stays'. These are trips of a lifetime — those that leave you a different person to the one who arrived.

MICHELIN Rating System for Restaurants
The premise that MICHELIN Stars are reserved for fine dining is a common misconception. While it is true that most MICHELIN Star-winning restaurants are elevated affairs, accompanied by equally elevated price tags, it isn't exclusive to the most formal establishments.
The Bib Gourmand is an award for pairing skillful cooking with a lower price point. For diners looking for the best flavors but perhaps aren't inclined toward the upscale environment, seeking out a Bib Gourmand is the way to find it.
When it comes to MICHELIN Stars, ranking is broken into three categories:
- One MICHELIN Star is given for a high-quality restaurant. These are dedicated to quality ingredients, skillful cooking, and an elevated dining experience.
- Two MICHELIN Stars are awarded when this quality cooking takes on a personality — the chefs themselves can be seen through their meal.
- Three MICHELIN Stars is the highest of awards, where your meal simply becomes art.
In addition to their awards, MICHELIN also has a curated list of 'Selected Restaurants,' which you can find on their website.

Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge | Vancouver Island, British Columbia
Perched on the edge of Clayoquot Sound, deep, deep in the Vancouver Island Wilderness, a cluster of canvas tents gather along the edge of the inlet, and are dotted through the surrounding rainforest.
This is, undoubtedly, one of the best places to visit in British Columbia, if not Canada.

Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge isn't camping in the woods how you know it. These tents are dripping with old-world charm — you'll be sleeping in fine linen sheets, enjoying heated floors, and showering in a luxurious outdoor cedar wood shower, taking forest-bathing to a new level.
The lodge exemplifies everything a stay in the British Columbia wilds should be. From sunrise until sunset, you are immersed in the lush greenery lining the inlet's shores. Even the on-site bar — the Ivanhoe — centers its experience around the wilds, with floor-to-ceiling windows lining three walls of the narrow lounge, inviting the outside in.
Canoeing Clayoquot Sound is included in your stay | Credit: Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge
By day, expert guides lead you through the temperate rainforest on interpretive hikes and onto the water for whale watching. By night, dinner comprises locally foraged fare artfully elevated to epicurean cuisine, overlooking the still waters of the sound.
After experiencing Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, our Travel Designers commended the level of peace they felt throughout their stay. Whether it was through the activities or noticing individual food preferences and wordlessly incorporating them into their stay, the team there makes it easy for you to relax and open up to the healing nature of the Canadian wilderness.

View of Fogo Island Inn | Credit: Fogo Island Inn
Fogo Island Inn | Fogo Island, Newfoundland & Labrador
Few other destination stays feature patchwork quilts on the beds and days spent with a local islander, but that is exactly what makes Fogo Island Inn so special. This is high-end luxury combined with homey charm, perched on the edge of the world.
Your days are typically filled with getting in touch with the unique landscape, with a local 'Community Host' to guide you through it all. You will venture away from the futuristic stilts of the hotel into the rustic communities dotted across the rocks. From hiking the coast to berry picking and jam making to whale-watching on the Atlantic, the Inn offers the chance to experience Fogo Island authentically, while always tailored to your personal interests.

However, there are no obligations here. If what you want from Fogo Island is the deep peace found in Atlantic Ocean views from wood-burning saunas or your ocean-front room, you have nothing but time to enjoy that instead.
Throughout your stay, you'll enjoy dining in Fogo Island Inn's dramatic dining room, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the rocks and ocean, and meals included in your stay.
The food is exceptional. It is rooted in the island's unique culture, with dishes containing farmed and foraged ingredients from around Newfoundland and Labrador. The Inn even provides a list of the local suppliers they work with, ensuring 80% of the ingredients used are sourced from the province and of excellent quality.
The rooms include a wood-burning stove, locally made furniture, and a hand-stitched quilt | Credit: Fogo Island Inn
After spending time at Fogo Island Inn and experiencing all it had to offer, our Travel Designers, unsurprisingly, had nothing but praise for every aspect, even the butter! Fogo Island Inn's dedication extends to even the littlest of things.
Let us arrange your trip to Fogo Island Inn
Two Keys
Across the country, luxury stays can be found, elevating your experience of the region to the extraordinary.
View of the Wickaninnish Inn | Credit: Wickaninnish Inn
Wickaninnish Inn | Tofino, British Columbia
On Vancouver Island's wild East Coast, the Wickaninnish Inn overlooks the Pacific Ocean from a rocky outcrop, instantly defining the Pacific Rim's allure. Like everything in Tofino, the spectacular landscape takes center stage. Meals are enjoyed in The Pointe Restaurant — the striking dining room lined with windows offering a 260º view of the water — and all rooms face the ocean. But this doesn't mean Wickaninnish Inn takes any opportunity to let the views outshine the experience. You'll find stylish design, elevated touches, and dedicated service throughout your stay.
View of Fairmont Chateau Whistler (left) and the inside of one of the suites (right) | Credit: Fairmonr Chateau Whislter
Fairmont Chateau Whistler | Whistler, British Columbia
Fairmont Chateau Whistler is the ultimate luxury ski hotel in British Columbia. With stone pillars, wood paneling, and two-story windows, the lobby feels just as an elevated ski lodge-turned-mountain-castle should, highlighting classic features and elevating them with modern twists. And this is just as true in summer, when the large windows throughout the hotel invite in lush pine-encrusted mountain views.
View of Manoir Hovey and private gardens (left) and inside one of the rooms (right) | Credit: Manoir Hovey
Manoir Hovey | North Hatley, Quebec
Manoir Hovey is a garden escape in Quebec's lush landscapes. Whether an excuse to venture into the Eastern Townships or a stop along the way, the hotel acts as the perfect countryside cottage escape. If Manoir Hovey is one thing, it is tranquil, resting on the shore of Lake Massawippi in a 30-acre nature sanctuary. Luckily, it is also classically beautiful interiors, artfully refined menus, and a simply idyllic experience.
View of Auberge Saint-Antoine (left) and inside the onsite restaurant (right) | Credit: Auberge Saint-Antoine
Auberge Saint-Antoine | Quebec City, Quebec
A charming boutique hotel feels just right, set on a quiet street of Old Quebec, and only enhances a visit to the historic district. On display, you'll find artifacts from the building's long legacy as, first, a cannon battery and then a maritime warehouse. Throughout your stay, the raw stone and exposed brick walls paired with plush and inviting furnishings make the experience feel timeless. But, while timeless, each room holds distinct character, cementing the 'quaint boutique' atmosphere underlying your stay.
View of the Hazleton Hotel Toronto (left) and the luxurious pool (right) | Credit: Hazleton Hotel Toronto
The Hazelton Hotel Toronto | Toronto, Ontario
The Hazelton Hotel Toronto mirrors the city's chic urban aura, tucked in the exclusive Yorkville neighborhood, befitting Canada's largest city. Here you'll find a contemporary take on traditional luxury — marble floors, a glamorous bar, and lavish rooms, of course, but also oversized modern art, a custom-tiled saltwater pool, and upscale dining featuring global flavors.
One Key
From the 23 One Key-winning properties, these are our 10 favorite stays, which pair luxury accommodations with a true Canadian experience.

Fairmont Empress | Victoria, British Columbia
The Fairmont Empress rests on a clean grass lawn lined with flowers and overlooks Victoria's Inner Harbour, with a promenade of market stalls and charming sailboats resting on the water. Inside, its elegance matches that which Victoria is known for — traditional Afternoon Tea in the Lobby Lounge is served with a century of practice and the signature Fairmont charm.
View from the Loden Hotel to the North Shore Mountains (left) and a room inside (right) | Credit: Loden Hotel
Loden Hotel | Vancouver, British Columbia
Loden Hotel is everything you should come to expect from Vancouver's Coal Harbour neighborhood. It's sleek and sophisticated from lobby to 15th floor. Floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of the North Shore mountain views, which should be considered a luxury in their own right. And inside, like the rest of Coal Harbour, Loden Hotel does not shy away from its opulence. Dark wood and plush couches line the lobby, rainfall showers adorn every bathroom, and a 'pillow menu' allows guests to order a pillow with charcoal, copper, or lavender infusions to their room, tailored to their unique sleep preferences.

Shangri-La Vancouver | Vancouver, British Columbia
Shangri-La Vancouver is sophistication and elegance through and through. Past the Feng Shui Foo Dogs positioned at the entrance, crystal chandeliers hang over the grand piano in the lobby, and white marble covers the walls. The hotel blends Asian design with luxurious finishes and feels entirely at home among the sleek downtown skyscrapers. And, with a strong Asian culture running through Vancouver, from its incredible restaurants — some mentioned below — to its historic Chinatown, Shangri-La Vancouver makes the perfect place to experience the city.
Entrance of the Wedgewood Hotel (left) and the plush lounge (right) | Credit: Wedgewood hotel & Kyle Cong (left) / Wedgewood hotel (right)
Wedgewood Hotel | Vancouver, British Columbia
Staying at the Wedgewood Hotel feels like a step back in time, as doormen dressed in top hats and tails greet you at the entrance, and antique armchairs invite you to rest by the lounge's open fire. A grandfather clock even stands in the corner. But, rather than feeling overly formal, these touches feel warm and welcoming. For those looking for a distinguished way to relax, this is the perfect slice of old-world European luxury in the heart of bustling downtown Vancouver.
View of Nita Lake Lodge (left) and a room inside (right) | Credit: Nita Lake Lodge
Nita Lake Lodge | Whistler, British Columbia
Nita Lake Lodge is nestled just away from Whistler Village, bringing with it an air of exclusivity and all the allure of a stylish stay in the mountains. The property is made up of contemporary suites, but is sure to never stray far from the lodge's rustic appeal. But if the raw-stone, wood-framing, and gas fireplaces are an ode to the nostalgic draw of a classic ski lodge, the suites' modern design, farm-to-table dining, and luxury onsite spa bring mountain lodging squarely into the present.
View of Fairmont Banff Springs (left) and the Fairmont Gold Lounge (right) | Credit: Fairmont Banff Springs
Fairmont Banff Springs | Banff, Alberta
Fairmont Banff Springs is iconic for good reason. The hotel has lived hand-in-hand with luxury since its conception, when the Canadian Pacific Railway Company laid tracks and built the first of its grand railway hotels in the Canadian Rockies. Today, it continues to live up to its reputation as the 'Castle in the Rockies' inside and out. Its turrets — each a decadent suite in its own right — can be seen for miles, jutting above the surrounding pine, and its interior ballrooms are lined with stained glass windows. If Banff is one of the best places to visit in Canada, Fairmont Banff Springs is the best way to visit Banff.
View of Lake Louise and the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise (left) and the Lakeview Lounge (right) | Credit: Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise
Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise | Lake Louise, Alberta
To speak of one iconic Fairmount in the Rockies without the other would be foolish. Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is the obvious choice when staying at the lake, perched right at its northern tip, with views all the way to Mount Victoria at the south. Its interior is opulent — chandeliers adorn the ceiling, arched windows overlook the lake, and the lobby and Lakeview Lounge floors are decorated with deep royal blue carpets. Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise has retained the old-world charm of a luxury lakefront stay, elevating it to a tee.
View of Hotel Le Germain Montreal’s painted front (left) and the inside bar (right) | Credit: Hotel Le Germain Montreal
Hotel Le Germain Montreal | Montreal, Quebec
Montreal is a city of contrasts, with modern twists and artistry set among historic sites, and Hotel Le Germain Montreal executes this perfectly. The hotel is coated in an explosion of color. Bright paint mirrors the city's dedication to murals, adding style to its once-grey 1960s exterior. Inside, the hotel lobby, restaurant, and bar are trimmed in rich wood and dark leather. Rooms are airy and bright —another contrast, again — each with their own stylish 1960s twist.
View of Le Germain Charlevoix Hotel & Spa and sheep (left) and a wood-beam bed inside one of the rooms (right) | Credit: Le Germain Charlevoix Hotel & Spa
Le Germain Charlevoix Hotel & Spa | Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec
An hour into the Quebec countryside from Quebec City is Le Germain Charlevoix Hotel & Spa, a unapologetically modern complex set amongst a working farm. The contemporary features don't take from the farmhouse feel, which shines through the rooms in wooden beams, paneled walls, and iron hardware. And the surrounding view of rolling fields from the rooms, the Restaurant Le Bercai, or the outdoor pools at the onsite Spa Nordique Le Germain flawlessly roots its modern edge in its rural escape.
View of Le Place d'Armes Hotel & Suites (left) and Brasserie 701 inside (right) | Credit: Le Place d'Armes Hotel & Suites
Le Place d'Armes Hotel & Suites | Montreal, Quebec
A historic outer shell in Old Montreal conceals an elegant stay at Le Place d'Armes Hotel & Suites. Its sleekness doesn't overwhelm its history — exposed brick, smooth leather, and dark woodwork instead accent the hotel's old stone walls. And, continuing its commitment to the classics, you will find the traditional French cuisine at Brasserie 701, serving breakfast each morning. Where Hotel Le Germain Montreal is an introduction to the city's modern twist, Le Place d'Armes Hotel & Suites, facing the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal, is squarely rooted in its traditions.
MICHELIN- Star Restaurants
When staying in the best properties in the world, it is only right to also be eating at the best restaurants. Anonymous MICHELIN Inspectors travel the world sampling fine dining for quality and consistency.
While there are no three-MICHELIN-Star restaurants in Canada, these are our favorite selection of MICHELIN restaurants across the country.
Two Stars
Only one restaurant in Canada has been awarded two MICHELIN Stars.
Careful construction of nigiri at Sushi Masaki Saito | Credit: @sushimasakisaito on Instagram
Sushi Masaki Saito | Toronto, Ontario
Japanese
In Yorkville (just two blocks north of the two-Key-winning Hazelton Hotel Toronto, in case you're looking to plan your stay there), waits stoutly traditional eight-person-per-seating omakase.
This is sushi rivalling the best in Japan, and quite possibly the best restaurant in Canada. With rice from the Niigata prefecture and fish, all from Japan, it goes without saying that the ingredients are of the highest quality. It simply would not be a MICHELIN restaurant without.
Surrounded by serene Japanese décor, most significant of which being the 200-year old Hinoki dining counter at which you sit, it is easy to feel transported as you eat. With chefs ensuring your tea never cools, your water never empties, and your ginger plate is always full, you are free to focus on the main event. But the experience really shines as you watch Chef Masaki Saito artfully prepare your omakase.
Sushi Masaki Saito is truly exceptional cuisine, and is worth a special journey to Toronto to experience.
One Star
One Star is given by MICHELIN to 'very good restaurants'. These, in Vancouver and Toronto, allow you to dine at the best restaurants in the country without straying far from your travel route.

Kissa Tanto | Vancouver, British Columbia
Fusion, Japanese/Italian
Kissa Tanto does what Vancouver's restaurants perhaps do best: blending traditional Asian flavors with experimentation for a high-end experience. The classic cocktail lounge atmosphere welcomes into true comfort, as it reflects the retro charm of a Japanese kissaten — a delightfully dated old-school café — settling it neatly into Vancouver's Chinatown. And, like a classic kissaten, Kissa Tanto blends its Eastern inspiration with Western flavors, pairing Japanese staples like wagyu beef with Italian ones like pasta. And, it uses these pairings to experiment, exploring the combinations that can come from two stars of flavor, resulting in delightful blends of meat and spice as ragu is laced with Japanese curry, and bruschetta is plated alongside furikake.

Published on Main | Vancouver, British Columbia
Contemporary
Found on Vancouver's 'MICHELIN Mile,' five blocks containing six MICHELIN Guide restaurants in the Mount Pleasant Neighborhood, Published on Main is an airy spot offering forward-thinking dishes featuring the best of local ingredients and flavors. It is no stranger to accolades, being awarded Canada's Best Restaurant in 2022, the same year it won its MICHELIN Star, and remaining in the top-10 ever since. Published on Main's commitment to its ingredients is seen in everything from the jars of colorful pickled produce decorating the bar to the dedication to sustainable sourcing and seasonality in their menu. In exchange for the commitment, visitors are rewarded with ultra-fresh flavors highlighting the best of the West Coast.
Seasonal offering at St. Lawrence | Credit: @stlawrencerestaurant on Instagram
St. Lawrence | Vancouver, British Columbia
French, Québécois
St. Lawrence blends the chef’s Québécois roots with French culinary expertise and tradition, creating an unmistakably Canadian experience despite its European flair. The restaurant’s rustic design evokes the warmth and charm of a Montreal café, while careful attention to detail is evident both in the décor and the cuisine. With a focus on a seasonal set menu — revealed just 48 hours before your seating — guests are invited to relax and trust the chef’s guidance through a four-course Table d’Hôte. Each course typically offers two choices, showcasing the best seasonal ingredients while allowing for a touch of personal preference. This thoughtful balance between a structured set menu and the flexibility of à la carte dining beautifully mirrors the restaurant’s overall blend of comfort and elegance.
Artful dish at Restaurant 20 Victoria (left) and cozy restaurant seating (right) | Credit: @twentyvictoria on Instagram
Restaurant 20 Victoria | Toronto, Ontario
Contemporary, Seafood
In the unassuming streets of Toronto’s Financial District, Restaurant 20 Victoria offers a refined, intimate dining experience where Canada’s seasons take center stage. Their seven-course tasting meal feels both confident and restrained. Upon seating, the courses are only hinted at in the provided menu listing each course's star ingredients. But what follows are waves of Eastern Canada's prized seafood, executed with perfect simplicity. This is matched by the space, which is minimalist and warm. Every element, from the delicate plating to the quietly luxurious atmosphere, reflects a deep care for detail.
Careful plating at Alo | Credit: @alorestaurant on Instagram
Alo | Toronto, Ontario
Contemporary, French
Alo is a Toronto staple and, occupying the top spot on Canada's 100 Best Restaurants list just two years after opening, holding it between 2017 and 2020, and remaining at number three by 2024, it is easy to see why. While, at first glance, Alo's menus lean toward French technique, flavors from around the world feature prominently, and you'll be just as likely to find Japanese, Italian, and Thai inspiration gracing your plate. As each tasting menu is blind, you can relax in the warm guidance of the servers through each small plate.
Bib Gourmand
The MICHELIN Guide also denotes establishments offering excellent cooking at moderate prices. So, if you're looking to start each day with MICHELIN-level cuisine, or want a more laid-back affair these spots might be closer to what you are looking for.
Pulled Pork Johnny Cakes at Fable Kitchen | Credit: @fablekitchen on Instagram
Fable Kitchen | Vancouver, British Columbia
Contemporary, North American
In Vancouver, brunch is more so a way of life than a meal. So it is only natural that Fable Kitchen, a farm-to-table restaurant in the local Kitsilano neighborhood, has earned its MICHELIN accolade from its brunch and dinner services equally. From classics like 'eggs benny' through to their signature 'johnny cakes' — savory cornmeal pancakes topped with pulled pork, tomato jam, and pickled jalapeños — to the evening's duck meatball, Fable Kitchen offers up finely executed hearty food.
Spread at White Lily Diner. From left to right: Meatloaf Dinner, Steak n’Eggs, Hashbrown w/ malt mayo, White Lily Standard, Hot turkey | Credit: @whitelilydiner on Instagram
White Lily Diner | Toronto, Ontario
Creative, Bakery
One of two Green Star restaurants in the country, White Lily Diner is a classic old-school diner prioritizing high-quality ingredients and sustainable cooking. This means making what they can from scratch — whether house-made preserves or hand-cut, hand-smoked bacon — and sourcing the rest from local family-owned suppliers. Their menu features Southern classics like gits, buttermilk biscuits and gravy, and collard greens, giving the often overlooked staples the attention they deserve.
