Column Heading Explanations
- 3-Star ratings are Michelin
- 18-20 ratings are for non 3 star restaurants that but have this high rating from Gault & Millau, Gayot or fine

   dining critics Matthias Ruul and Andy Hayler. The United States has many more as  Michelin does not

    visit/review much of the country.
- Additions & reductions represent the number of restaurants and types of cuisine that are added or served in

   other countries or reduced when non-native cuisines are used, i.e., French cuisine at most German restaurants.

- Others row includes Denmark, South Korea, Sweden, Norway, Taiwan, Germany, Belgium, Singapore,

  Netherlands, and Austria.
