South Australia gets Australia's first Michelin stars
The full list, led by country kitchens, and who paid for the guide to come.
The first Michelin Guide for South Australia awarded stars to 11 restaurants and listed 77 venues at a ceremony in Adelaide on October 14. Magill Estate Restaurant, at the Penfolds vineyard in Magill, was the only two-star winner and no restaurant received three; regional restaurants took more than half of the single stars, including Anvers in Kangarilla, Maxwell in McLaren Vale and Hentley Farm in Seppeltsfield. They are the first Michelin stars awarded anywhere in Australia. The state government paid for Michelin to cover South Australia and says restaurants cannot pay to be included.

How much is substance, and how much is paid or hype?
The stars come from Michelin's anonymous inspectors, the practitioner judgment our filter looks for. The South Australian government paid for Michelin to cover the state, and says restaurants cannot pay to be included, so read the ceremony's tourism framing as the state's voice, not the guide's.
