From a press release:
“The MICHELIN Guide released its list of 40 restaurants in Washington, D.C., that earned the Bib Gourmand distinction, featuring six new additions. This marks the start of a week of culinary recognition in the nation’s capital. The highly anticipated star selection will be revealed on Thursday, April 22.
Bib Gourmand restaurants offer a full menu of a starter, main course and dessert, making it possible to order two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for around $40 or less (tax and gratuity not included).
Here’s the list of new Bib Gourmands, with inspector notes from each restaurant:
