i'm using the michelin europe app all the time and found it absolutely great. I'm traveling on business a lot in austria, switzerland, italy, france and germany and i must say, this app has often already made me discover gems in price/prefoamce ratio that i would otherwise never (or rather extremely unlikely) have found. I can't travel without it.

I bought the iPhone Europe app and used it in the West Midlands as there is an abysmal lack of good places to eat in this region. It came up with some interesting new places and we decided on a Bistro called Ilra' Brasserie. Not bad I reckon it paid for the app. Staff friendly, food well presented.

fiuza – I wouldn’t be shocked if that is true. Seems like they have far more competition now than they did ‘back in the day’ …

Impressive.
“Pascal Rémy, a Michelin inspector, and also a former Gault Millau employee, wrote a tell-all book in 2004, claiming that Michelin had become extremely lax in its standards. He gave evidence that, though the guide claims to visit all 4,000 reviewed restaurants every 18 months in order to keep the guide up to standards, they are actually visited about every 3.5 years, unless a specific complaint had been made. Rémy’s employment was terminated. He brought a court case for unfair dismissal, which was unsuccessful.”
