ADELAIDE, Australia, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — South Australia has officially joined the global MICHELIN Guide map, marking the Guide’s first-ever expansion into Australia. The MICHELIN Guide South Australia 2027 recognizes 77 restaurants honoring their craft, creativity and distinct sense of place.
After months of anonymous inspections, the MICHELIN Guide has awarded Two MICHELIN Stars to Adelaide’s Magill Estate Restaurant led by Chef Scott Huggins.
Anvers Restaurant, Aptos, arkhé, Aurora at ILA, Skillogalee Barrel House, Botanic, Esmay, Hentley Farm, LVN Restaurant at Bird in Hand, and Maxwell Restaurant have each received One MICHELIN Star.
Beyond the Stars, 16 restaurants have earned a Bib Gourmand for good food at great value, and 50 more restaurants join the Guide as MICHELIN Selected.
Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide, said:
“South Australia’s debut has been very impressive. What struck our Inspectors was the sheer diversity on display – European, Southeast Asian and Japanese traditions sitting naturally alongside native ingredients such as quandong, lemon myrtle and native Australian meats, never as novelty, but as an honest expression of place.
From Adelaide’s easy-going dining rooms to the restaurants within wineries of the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley and Adelaide Hills, fire is the thread that runs through it all. It is a food culture unburdened by rigid tradition – technically refined yet relaxed, generous and unmistakably South Australian in its warmth.”
In addition to the restaurant selection, the MICHELIN Guide Special Awards were recognized as the following:
- Service Award: Mrs Melissa Pisanelli, from MICHELIN Selected Allegra Dining Room
- Young Chef Award (Presented by King River): Mr Shakaan Abillion, from MICHELIN Selected Shōbōsho
- Sommelier Award: Mr Maxime Martin, from MICHELIN Selected Hardy’s Verandah
