The Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand list features “good value” restaurants with impeccable quality. The latest qualifiers in Los Angeles include Little Fish, Quarter Sheets and more.
The Michelin Guide has just released a new list of 85 restaurants that have received various Michelin awards in California. This list is not just for foodies – in fact, LA has a nice selection of Bib Gourmand Awardswhich highlight “value-for-money” restaurants that offer quality food at a good price. Of the ten new Bib Gourmand restaurants across California eight of them are in LA
Here is a brief overview of the Local restaurants that made it:
- Cedro Italian Restaurant (Newbury Park) – This casual restaurant serves delicious Italian cuisine, including traditional handmade pasta.
- Gra (Echo Park) – Enjoy wild fermented pizza and natural wines at this restaurant near Echo Park Lake.
- Small fish (Echo Park) – Try the popular fried fish sandwich at this counter-service seafood restaurant open for breakfast and lunch only.
- Liu’s Cafe (Koreatown) – Shop for delicious Chinese food and baked goods inspired by the flavors of Taiwan, Shanghai and Hong Kong.
- Mae Malai Thai House of Noodles (Hollywood) – Michelin specifically lists Mae Malai’s boat noodles as a specialty, but portions are small, so plan to order multiple dishes.
- Manohar’s Palace in Delhi (La Puente) – Order the tasty tandoori dinner at this casual strip mall restaurant serving Punjabi cuisine.
- Chicken with tomato sauce (Koreatown) – The line outside this Peruvian restaurant is worth it for a portion of skewered chicken.
- Quarter sheets (Echo Park) – This extremely popular restaurant combines the nostalgia of an old-fashioned pizzeria with the finesse of gourmet cuisine.
According to the Michelin Guide, Bib Gourmand restaurants are often personal favorites among the Michelin inspectors in their daily lives. To qualify for a Bib Gourmand designation, restaurants must have a Three-course menu at a “reasonable price”, which varies depending on location.
While the regular Michelin stars praise heavyweights like the two-starred Providence and n/naka, we love the Bib Gourmand option as a more accessible way to experience the best quality at cheaper prices. Which restaurant will you visit first?
