Michelin doesn’t understand Montreal

The article criticizes the Michelin Guide's understanding of Montreal's culinary scene, arguing that the Guide fails to appreciate the city's diverse and unique food culture. It suggests Michelin's criteria are too rigid and neglect Montreal's local flavors and dining experiences that do not fit traditional fine dining molds. The author questions whether the Guide's awards align with what makes the city's food special, implying that local culinary values do not adequately translate into the Michelin evaluation framework.
