Each year, the Michelin Guide hands out its famous stars to restaurants around the world. Awarded in ones, twos and threes, they’re the best-known indicators of quality in the culinary sphere; the more stars, the thinking goes, the better the food (and, more often than not, the higher the accompanying price tag).
But that’s not the only way Michelin gives praise for a decent plate of grub. Its Bib Gourmand award focuses more on value for money — or, in the Guide’s own words, a restaurant that “will leave you with a sense of satisfaction, at having eaten so well at such a reasonable price”.
