Michelin Announces Bay Area Bib Gourmand Restaurants

With the 2014 Bay Area Michelin Guide’s release scheduled for next week, this year’s list of Bib Gourmand restaurants was revealed on Wednesday morning.

The Bib Gourmand represents restaurants that serve two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included) and most importantly, they are restaurants the Michelin inspectors frequent themselves.

All told, the list includes 83 Bay Area restaurants, up from 70 last year. There are a number of new entries, including Izakaya Yuzuki, Rich Table, Mason Pacific, M.Y China and 1601 Bar & Kitchen in San Francisco. Other noteworthy newbies include Ramen Shop in Oakland and Sir and Star in Olema.
