Good, cheap eats aren’t just in Manhattan.
On Thursday, Michelin announced its 2015 Bib Gourman winners, a week prior to the release of the new Michelin guide.
Of the 133 restaurants on the list, top secret Michelin restaurant inspectors have included 27 new choices.
To qualify for this almost-as-prestigious list, restaurants must serve two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less, not including tax and tip.
For those who want to eat well without the price tag of a Michelin starred restaurant, this list can be remarkably helpful, especially when exploring new neighborhoods. Restaurants on this list will not qualify for Michelin stars this year.
All five boroughs are represented in this year’s Bib Gourmand rankings, with a notable emphasis on Queens.
“From Casa del Chef Bistro, a charming father and daughter run restaurant in Woodside serving contemporary cuisine, to the Gregory’s 26 Corner Taverna in Astoria, with Greek cooking, Queens is a must for diners wanting to experience a wide variety of the world’s different cuisines” said Michael Ellis, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide in a statement. “This year’s selection put a light on just how exciting and dynamic New York City’s dining scene is today.”
