Westchester County is a great place to live if you are a foodie. You don’t have to go to New York City to enjoy Michelin-starred dining. There are 14 restaurants in Westchester County that have received the prestigious Michelin Guide recognition. These include one Michelin two-star restaurant and 13 Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants.
What is the Difference Between Michelin Star and Michelin Bib Gourmand?
The Michelin Star is the ultimate prize for chefs around the world. It is a prestigious recognition of the quality, creativity, and consistency of their food. Restaurants can earn up to three Michelin stars, depending on their level of excellence. The Michelin Guide evaluates restaurants based on the ingredients, flavors, techniques, value, and personality of the chef. Winning a Michelin star is a lifelong ambition for many chefs throughout the world.
The Michelin Bib Gourmand is another honor from the Michelin Guide. It is given to restaurants that offer good food at reasonable prices. It is not a star, but it is still a highly regarded Michelin award.
What is the Michelin Bib Gourmand Award?
Introduced in 1997, the Bib Gourmands are awarded to restaurants that earned the attention of Michelin inspectors for their affordability and remarkable dining experience. Bib Gourmand restaurants offer a full menu of starters, main courses, and desserts, making it possible to order two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for around $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included).
