2025 MICHELIN GUIDE
Charlotte Joins the MICHELIN Map of the American South
Charlotte earns international recognition in the inaugural selection for the MICHELIN Guide American South.
The 2025 MICHELIN Guide American South has officially recognized Counter- with both a MICHELIN Star and MICHELIN Green Star.
Here’s what MICHELIN Inspectors noted:
“To say that Counter- is an outlier in the Charlotte dining scene risks understatement: this ambitious, mercurial project from Chef Sam Hart is sui generis. The boldly immersive experience features shifting concepts fueled by Chef Hart’s multifarious passions and creativity, drawing on themes of nostalgia, music, personal history and more on a multicourse tasting menu. Local products are celebrated, including herbs and vegetables from nearby urban farms, combined with wide-ranging culinary influences that make for a truly memorable meal. The tight-knit team provides effortlessly gracious hospitality, and the beverage offerings are sure to impress.”
Counter- was also recognized with a MICHELIN Green Star, which editorially highlights restaurants that have inspired and impressed Inspectors with their committed vision for the future of gastronomy.
Additional recognition for Charlotte restaurants included a MICHELIN Bib Gourmand for Lang Van, a MICHELIN Exceptional Cocktails Award for Colleen Hughes (Supperland) and 10 MICHELIN American South's 2025 Recommended restaurants.
