It depends on what stars the restaurant has, to some extent, but more importantly what people are willing to pay.

If I want to spend €150+ per head I can eat at a two Michelin star restaurant*. The difference between that and a 'three star' restaurant depends mostly on interpretation of the 'stars' and demand/availability in that location.

I have used viamichelin.com for years, it's great!

You could try here

I suggest to take a look at http://www.viamichelin.com/, it allows good map navigation with Firefox too.

Naturally, at each point on the itenerary, you can get information about restaurants and hotels in the vicinity. Of course, the only way to plan a trip properly is from restaurant to restaurant, so I find this very useful!

for Europe only: www.viamichelin.com I use it all the time, has a good interface and knows all the information I need to know :)

Of course it could be different for other countries, but using it for looking up streets in The Netherlands it is perfect!

I have used MapQuest and MapBlast, but nothing beats Viamichelin if you are planning a road trip in Europe. MapQuest and MapBlast both provide great city maps and I use them often, since I live in Canada. ViaMichelin provides a quality of service and features that I have yet to see on the other two.

Just try creating an route map for London, UK to Nice, France and see how good it is :)

For France and near countries, Michelin gives very good maps, indications and restaurants :-)

According to the Michelin Red Guide Key, the most stars a restaurant can get is three, where the stars refer to exceptional cuisine. The 1-5 scale refers to the "Comfort Category", ranging from "Quite Comfortable" to "Luxury". I always wondered myself...
