Draft:List of Michelin Bib Gourmand Restaurants in Canada

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Michelin Bib Gourmand list highlights restaurants offering "exceptionally good food at moderate prices". They must offer menu items priced below a maximum determined by local economic standards.[1] In Canada, a Bib Gourmand restaurant must be able to offer a two-course meal and either dessert or a glass of wine for less than $60 CAD per person.[2]

Per Michelin's own rating system, the Bib Gourmand is considered "Not quite a star, but most definitely not a consolation prize" and a "a just-as-esteemed rating."[3]

Three regions are covered by the Michelin Guide in Canada - Greater Toronto,[4] Vancouver[5] and Quebec. The Toronto and Vancouver guides launched separately in September 2022, and update annually each autumn. The Quebec guide is expected to launch in the spring of 2025.

A total of 39 restaurants in Canada presently have a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition - 23 in the Toronto area,[6] and 16 in Vancouver.[7]
