The difference between black pearl and Michelin

Meituan released the Public Comment Guide of Black Pearl Restaurant, which is claimed to be China's Michelin Guide. The 20 19 Black Pearl Restaurant Guide, which aims to select China taste buds and explore delicious restaurants, shows that there are 287 diamond restaurants on the list, which are similar to Michelin stars. The diamond grades of Black Pearl Restaurant are three diamonds, two diamonds and one diamond from top to bottom. * * * Covers 22 domestic cities and 5 overseas cities, among which 232 restaurants are located in China.

In order to ensure the fairness of the evaluation, the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide also invited food researchers and senior user representatives to form an evaluation committee to conduct anonymous visits to the shortlisted restaurants, and successfully introduced an independent third party, PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhongtian Certified Public Accountants, to conduct the agreed procedures in the evaluation stage.

Michelin Guide is a world-renowned guide to restaurants and hotels with a history of 100 years. It will award the best restaurant one, two or three stars. Michelin stars are judged by a group of screened "food spies", who are called "inspectors". Every time inspectors go to restaurants and hotels to judge, they need to hide their identity, sneak into accommodation and taste. The scoring items they need to refer to include food, dining environment, service, wine mix and so on. Whether in Japan, the United States, China or Europe, all Michelin judges follow Michelin criteria.
