When you think of the Michelin Guide, you think of those fancy restaurants with "carefully plated dishes."
Michelin, a French tire company, originally created its famous guidebook as a way to help drivers find good spots to eat along road trips. It awards stars – one, two or three of them – to restaurants that are best in class.
Now if you're on a budget or those types of restaurants are just not for you then listen up because Michelin has a "lesser-known award called the Bib Gourmand, which goes to restaurants Michelin inspectors believe are the 'best value for money.'" The "best value for money" restaurants typically can have a 3-course meal under $50 for the Bib Gourmand picks. Out of this list, 10 "best value for money" restaurants are right here in California, check them out:
- Bansang (San Francisco)
- Bombera (Oakland)
- Carnes Asadas Pancho Lopez (Los Angeles)
- Cobi’s (Santa Monica)
- Eat Joy Food (San Gabriel Valley)
- Mabel’s Gone Fishing (San Diego)
- Maligne (Seaside)
- Petiscos (San Jose)
