Not correct :
- 79 michelin restaurants in Paris and 75 in NY..... (i.e probably more in NY than in Paris factoring the size / number of people)
-
and 226 in Tokyo
-
and 99 in Kyoto
- 594 michelin restaurants in France vs 516 in Japan
These numbers clearly confirmed that Europe and especially France is "over represented"

IMHO Michelin guide is fair in France and rarely outside.
Anyway, there are some great restaurants all over (as French chef start to relocate.....
)
