The inaugural Michelin Guide in Toronto only covered the City of Toronto plus the border of Thornhill with the inclusion of Frilu, and it was the same for 2023.

According to Andrew Weir, executive vice-president of Destination Toronto, regarding their marketing partnership with Michelin: “This is also the start of a multi-year partnership with Michelin. They’ve come in to do their first round of inspections, but over time, they will discover more restaurants. So, the guide will continue to grow over time.”

“The Toronto guide is an all-digital guide, which means there will be additions, particularly in the recommended category. Toronto’s culinary scene is remarkable in its depth and breadth, and we saw the start of that recognition tonight,” says Andrew Weir.

On October 27, 2022, the inaugural Vancouver Michelin Guide was launched.

On May 15, 2025, the inaugural Québec MICHELIN Guide was launched with the first restaurant selections revealed. This first provincial-level guide in Canada included Quebec City, Montreal, Eastern Townships, The Laurentians, Lanaudiere-Mauricie and more.
