"Restaurants are actually judged on items like technique, quality, and the presence of the chef's personality and abilities on each plate, and yes, that - along with high-quality ingredients - often means that customers get an outstanding meal at a high price. That's not always the case, though, and we wanted to highlight some of the most deliciously affordable meals that are being served up at Michelin-starred restaurants across the U.S."
"So, we started digging through the websites and menus of these restaurants to see where you can get a Michelin-starred meal without breaking the bank. It was tough, but alongside offerings like Masa's $950 per person Hinoki Counter Experience, we found some places that are offering award-winning meals at the kind of prices that mean both your wallet and your taste buds will be thoroughly pleased with your decision-making."
"At the time of this writing, making a reservation at Le Comptoir at Bar Crenn will set you back around $163 per person, and with that, you'll get a 12-course meal consisting of small plates. However, you can also opt to visit the adjoining Lounge, where signature and classic cocktails are around $22, classic cocktails are on offer for around the same, and you can also choose from an affordable bar bites menu."
Michelin inspectors evaluate technique, ingredient quality, and the chef's personality and abilities as expressed on each plate. Those standards and high-quality ingredients often produce outstanding meals at high prices. Affordable options exist at certain Michelin-starred venues, including lounge menus, cocktails, and individual small plates. Research of menus and websites reveals that some restaurants provide lower-cost ways to sample award-winning cooking without booking the full tasting experience. Le Comptoir at Bar Crenn offers a roughly $163 12-course menu while its adjoining Lounge features $22 cocktails and bar bites like $16 fish and chips.
