 Bib Gourmand, one of the famous Michelin restaurant guides, recognises restaurants that offer great food at reasonable prices. Bib Gourmand restaurants may not have a Michelin star, but the food must still be delicious,

and the total cost for three courses should come to under a certain amount, depending on the local cost of living.
