haute cuisine or 'fine dining' is found in a guide, such as the "michelin guide", the most famous restaurant guide in the world. their 3-star rosettes are given only to restaurants with the highest standards of cooking and service. interestingly, the guide gives more 3-stars to tokyo and kyoto than to paris, london and new york together. traditionally, the restaurants of top hotels such as the hotel de paris in monte carlo or the hôtel ritz paris were the main places recognized for fine dining. today, most michelin guide restaurants are separate establishments.
