The Michelin Guide announced nine Denver and Boulder restaurants with eight different cuisines under its Bib Gourmand category today. Bib Gourmand restaurants offer a meal of good quality at a good value, according to Michelin.
“The famously anonymous Michelin Guide inspectors are excited to reveal these very first Colorado Bib Gourmand as an appetizer to whet the state’s appetite for the full-selection smorgasbord,” said Gwendal Poullennec, the International Director of the Michelin Guides.
The rest of the Michelin awards, including Michelin stars, will be announced at a ceremony at Mission Ballroom on Sept. 12.
