Apple Maps now makes it easier to find fancy restaurants

Looking for a Michelin-starred restaurant? Now, you can do it directly in Apple Maps, which now includes Michelin Guide recommendations and reviews — albeit only in the U.S. for the time being.

On Wednesday, the company announced new Apple Maps features, including the ability to search for Michelin-starred, Green Star, and Bib Gourmand restaurants, as well as Michelin Key hotels. If you search for restaurants in Maps, for example, you'll be able to turn on the Michelin Distinctions filter, and when looking at a restaurant location's page in Maps, you'll see Michelin Guide stars if the restaurant has them.

Apple says rankings and insights from restaurant recommendation website The Infatuation and golf publisher Golf Digest are also coming soon, along with other expert sources.

Unfortunately, all of this currently works only in the U.S., though Apple says support for other regions is coming "in the future."

In a separate announcement, Apple also said it has launched a custom Detailed City Experience in Monaco, leading up to the Formula 1 race that will take place on May 25 (with practice starting on May 23, and qualifiers on May 24). It's also a promotional tie-in to the Apple-produced film F1 The Movie which hits cinemas on June 27.

The feature includes custom-designed, 3D landmarks across Monaco, including Casino de Monte-Carlo, Fairmont Monte Carlo, Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, Yacht Club de Monaco, and the F1 Paddock Club. Other features of note are additional details for road markings, land cover, trees, and public routes, and a windshield view for drivers. As for the race itself, the track will be highlighted in Maps, with 3D representations of locations such as grandstands, footbridges, and the finish line.
