TORONTO — Two more Toronto chefs earned feathers in their tuques Wednesday night, each receiving a Michelin star.
The tire company turned culinary kingmaker added Kappo Sato and Restaurant 20 Victoria to its list of Michelin-starred eateries at a ceremony unveiling this year’s edition of the guide.
Michelin lauded Kappo Sato, a Japanese restaurant led by chef Takeshi Sato, for its bustling atmosphere and “clever courses.”
Meanwhile, Michelin celebrated chef Julie Hyde’s Restaurant 20 Victoria for its “pristine seafood and refined sauce work.”
The organization also awarded a pair of eateries with “green stars” recognizing their leadership in restaurant sustainability.
Both Frilu, which received a Michelin star last year, and White Lily Diner, which is on the Bib Gourmand list for affordable eats, were recognized for having no-till farms that supply the restaurants.
With the new additions, Toronto is now home to one restaurant with two Michelin stars, 14 with a single star and two with a green star. There are also 21 on the Bib Gourmand list.
The Michelin Guide entered the Canadian market last year, first in Toronto and then in Vancouver.
