The guide to the best restaurants in town. Each listing is recommended by Michelin's team of anonymous local inspectors. For more than a century Michelin's obsessively researched restaurant and hotel guides have been indispensable to travelers seeking great places to dine and stay in Europe at all budget levels. This edition includes, more than 30 hotels and 175 restaurants, time-tested Michelin iconography for easy reference, Michelin stars indicate culinary excellence, Red Pavilions Icons highlight charming hotels, thematic indexes (restaurants with private rooms, late-night dining, open on Sundays, index by cuisine, ku, etc.), each establishment has a two-page spread, including a page of color photos and a page of description, each spread contains a map extract showing the exact location of the establishment, making it easy to find, restaurants and hotels organized alphabetically, colorful maps at the end of guide make locating recommended restaurants and hotels easy, easily recognizable symb Library Journal As you get close to finalizing a trip, it's time to pull out Michelin's "Red Guides," in which anonymous inspectors visit restaurants and hotels to rate the quality of service and products. The guides, easy to carry and consult, include attractive photos of the establishment, an entrée, and, for hotels, the interior of a guest room. Detailed street maps accompany each inclusion. The Japanese guides (Kyoto Osaka 2010; Tokyo 2010) often include a tidbit about the chef or proprietress and mention menu changes; Hong Kong Macau 2010 is in English and Chinese. Restaurants are divided by Michelin stars, geographical location, and cuisine type. Helpfully, hours are included, and some restaurants boast about having tea or sake experts. Hotels are classified from quite comfortable to luxury, and locations are clearly described, e.g., near a metro stop or in a large building or complex. The conversational style is particularly inviting. Special notes, indicating, for example, that Mount Fuji can be seen in the distance or that shoes must be removed, add to the welcoming feel. VERDICT These new city guides from a 110-year-old giant in travel publishing are essential to round out Chinese and Japanese travel collections.—Susan G. Baird, formerly with Oak Lawn P.L., IL
