The cheapest Michelin-starred restaurants in the world
lovers of gastronomy we measure everything with food . We travel to discover the local cuisine, bets with friends turn into paid dinners and if asked what we would spend lottery money on, we salivate thinking about the restaurant of our dreams. the most prestigious, those who proudly wear their michelin stars , are not always within reach of our hands, but no one said you couldn't eat cheap and fit like a king.
The financial information center topdollar , has not only demonstrated it, but has also created a world map as a guide to find those restaurants that, despite enjoying such coveted stars, are totally affordable . They are spread all over the world, there are a hundred in total and they have been based on a three-course menu. The best? There is a Spanish among the best positions!
GOOD PRETTY AND CHEAP
Dig into all the award-winning restaurants in the world to bring out a listing in which quality and price come together is not an easy task . The Top Dollar team gathered those who enjoyed one, two and three stars and then manually reviewed the menu of each one of them, a number that amounted to more than 500 in total . To avoid disparate results, those that offered a different menu than the traditional one were eliminated from the investigation.
Thus, as if it were the dragon balls, they found the prized stars spread across 34 countries . However, five of them cannot boast of a meal worth less than approximately €80, a result that is not surprising either. Even so, the Michelin guide rewards the quality of the dishes , so it was not unusual to find true gastronomic jewels at very affordable prices.
The duality resides in a first clear example. The Statholdergaarden from norway serving classic cuisine since 1914, having been a house dating back to the 17th century, and its menu has a price of almost €130 . However, the first prize for the cheapest Michelin restaurant in the world goes to Hostellerie la Montagne, in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises (France), with a seasonal menu for just €20.
The Hostellerie la Montagne restaurant in France takes the prize for the cheapest.
He follows very closely Edward, in Vienna . There, Wiener Schnitzel, the popular Viennese schnitzel, or sea bass are served as the main course of a three-course “Business Lunch” that costs €22 . The valuable third place goes to Borkonyha Winekitchen, in Budapest , which has an award-winning wine list and their menu only amounts to €24.
And now, drum roll . In circumstances in which travel has been reduced to zero, having a Spanish restaurant on the list comes in handy. You just have to look down up to position number four to land in Vigo, specifically, in the restaurant Syllabary.
With a Michelin star, the kitchen of Alberto González a gap has been made between the most delicious and not for that reason the most expensive. The Berbés menu , named after the restaurant's close relationship with the Berbés market in Vigo, It costs only €25 and enjoys an appetizer of the day, starters, seconds and desserts . Among this parade you will find turnip and slaughter ravioli in a Galician broth, 5J ham, potato and tomato croquettes, or truffled free-range rooster cannelloni, among others.
The Vigo restaurant Silabario sneaks into the top four!
To leave Europe you have to go down to sixth position, in Taipei, Taiwan . There, the Three Coins serves Cantonese cuisine classic, with Taiwanese nuances, including dishes as tasty as steamed abalone with dried and fresh tomatoes. The price still does not have a great variation with respect to the first positions, at a cost of €30.
Although we highlighted the Syllabary for being among the top 10 positions, There are not a few Spanish restaurants included in the list if we expand the look to the 100 total members . The Trivio in Cuenca, the Fogony in Sort, the Ca L'Arpa in Banyoles, the Muna in Ponferrada, L'Aliança d'Anglès 1919 in Anglès, or the Adrian Quetglas in Palma de Mallorca would be the ones that would complete the total cast.
THE THREE GRACES
Things get serious when we no longer talk about a single star, but about three . As expected, the prices go up, but they do not reach exorbitant amounts, so if you are thinking of treating yourself at some point, these could be your next destinations. Hint: Italy takes the cake with four restaurants integrated into the top ten.
In this case, Taipei takes first prize, but we move to The Palais . Exotic dishes are the strong point of its offer, such as steamed marbled goby with Chinese nopal and abalone and conpoy soup. The fixed menu amounts to €120 , but it is also worth visiting its luxurious dining room, a union between the contemporary and the traditional.
Le Calandre restaurant in Rubano (Italy) takes second place with a menu at €140 , and the third is reserved for Le Bernardin, in New York, with a seafood menu at €150 . The rest of the positions travel through South Korea with La Yeon, the Netherlands with Inter Sealdes, or Japan with Kikunoi Honten.
While it is true that the numbers go up as we add stars, Top Dollar has shown that we can travel the world in search of those who, with just one of them, promise to give us the most delicious snacks in the world . Since they are grouped in the form of a map, it is not a bad idea turn them into next destinations and cross them off the list as if they were museums (which they are).
