List of Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurants in Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A total of 64 restaurants in Canada presently have a Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition - 26 in the Toronto area,[1] 23 in the province of Quebec,[2] and 15 in the city of Vancouver.[3]
The Michelin Guides have been published by the French tire company Michelin since 1900. They were designed as a guide to tell drivers about eateries they recommended to visit and to subtly sponsor their tires, by encouraging drivers to use their cars more and therefore need to replace the tires as they wore out.[4] The Michelin Bib Gourmand designation debuted internationally in 1997 and highlights restaurants offering "exceptionally good food at moderate prices".[5] They must offer menu items priced below a maximum determined by local economic standards.[6][7] In Canada, a Bib Gourmand restaurant must be able to offer a two-course meal and either dessert or a glass of wine for less than $60 CAD per person.[8]
Per Michelin's own rating system, the Bib Gourmand is considered "Not quite a star, but most definitely not a consolation prize" and a "just-as-esteemed rating."[9][10] As with Michelin stars, restaurants can also lose their Bib Gourmand designation.[10] Bib Gourmand restaurants are assessed often by Michelin's inspectors, and must meet the required standards to remain on the list.[11]
Three regions are covered by the Michelin Guide in Canada:
- Quebec: covering the Province of Quebec[12]
- Toronto and Region: covering the City of Toronto, its suburbs and portions of Southern Ontario[13]
- Vancouver: covering the City of Vancouver[14][15]
The Toronto and Vancouver guides launched separately in September 2022, and update annually each autumn. The Quebec guide launched in May 2025, and is anticipated to update annually each spring.
