Difficulty is not the same as fame. A three-star that takes bookings ninety days out on OpenTable is easier to get into than a one-star that releases a month of seats at 10am on the first and answers only its phone. We monitor 1,286 Michelin-starred restaurants across 38 cities, so this ranking is built from booking mechanics rather than reputation.
Each venue scores on the things that actually stand between you and a table: how many stars pull demand, whether there is any online route at all, whether seats appear in one monthly drop rather than continuously, and how far ahead the book opens. Every entry below shows exactly which of those it scored on — there is no hidden weighting.
Where we have verified a venue’s release schedule we give it exactly — 6 venues so far, 5 of them in this top 100. We also flag the 78 here that take no online booking at all. For everything else we would only be restating the platform’s standard window, which is not worth your time, so we leave it blank. The verified list is growing.
