[PRESS RELEASE] NEW YORK, N.Y. (Sept. 29, 2009) – The Bib Gourmand category, also known as “Inspectors Favorites for good value,” has been embraced by Michelin Guide readers for providing a recession-proof dining solution. Featuring restaurants serving a meal (two dishes and a glass of wine or dessert) for $40 or less, the 2010 New York City Michelin Guide adds 31 new restaurants to this edition, for a total of 85 affordable-yet-delicious dining options.
“During the current recession, value for money is more important than ever, which largely explains the great success of Bib Gourmand restaurants among the Michelin Guide’s readers,” says Jean-Luc Naret, director of the Michelin guides. “And with 85 affordable options to choose from, any palate can be pleased.”

Introduced in 1997, the Bib Gourmand consists of restaurants that offer excellent value for the money, providing readers with an outstanding opportunity to enjoy top-quality cuisine at highly affordable prices. The restaurants awarded this distinction are identified by a red symbol depicting the head of the Michelin Man.
Thanks to a rigorous selection process that is applied independently and consistently around the 23 countries by the Michelin Guide, the Michelin Guide has become an international benchmark in gourmet dining. The selection is made by anonymous, professional inspectors who are Michelin employees and is based on the same working methods in all countries. They pay all their bills in full.
While the Michelin Guide is known around the world for its famous stars, these restaurants account for just ten percent of the selection. With more than 1.2 million copies sold in approximately 100 countries, the Michelin Guide has always built its success on the diversity of its selection, especially on small establishments offering a high-quality dining experience at an affordable price. The best are included in the “Our inspectors’ favorites for good value” category (Bib Gourmand). Moreover, inclusion in the Michelin Guide is, in itself, synonymous with quality, since only the best establishments in each comfort and price category are featured in the guide.
