The 2013 Michelin Guide “Bib Gourmand” awards for the San Francisco Bay Area and Wine Country have been announced.
Seventeen Wine Country restaurants were selected, though there was only a single newcomer.
A Bib Gourmand rating means the restaurant is an inspector’s favorite for good value. For $40 or less, you can enjoy two courses and a glass of wine or dessert (not including tax and gratuity). Bib Gourmand restaurants represent the best hidden culinary value that the Bay Area has to offer. Stay tuned for stars coming Oct. 24.
