While we covered the Michelin Guide’s selection of Toronto restaurants deemed worthy of a Star (you can find part one here, and part two here), we haven’t covered their selection of 17 Bib Gourmands; these restaurants offer full three-course meals including a starter, a main course and dessert, while making it possible to dine for $50 or less per person! Let’s take a look at some our favourites on their list, including Spanish, Middle-Eastern, and meat-free fare!
