What is a Bib Gourmand?

Named after the Michelin mascot, The Bib Gourmand recognises "friendly establishments that serve good food at moderate prices."

Originally marked with an "R" next to the restaurant in the Guide, the Bib Gourmand symbol featuring Bibendum was first used in 1997.

In 2017, the Guide introduced the Michelin plate (or l'Assiette Michelin) for restaurants where it says "inspectors have discovered quality food." As of September 2021 in the UK, new restaurants awarded a plate are revealed on a monthly basis.
