Two Belfast restaurants awarded Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide
Celebrating places "for their good quality, good value cooking" 🍽
Last updated 23rd Mar 2023
20 restaurants have been awarded a Bib Gourmand by the Michelin Guide in its 2023 selection, and two Belfast eateries have been selected.
The Bib Gourmand award highlights restaurants that stand out for their good quality, good value cooking.
Bib Gourmand restaurants are much followed by those readers of the Guide who are seeking affordable meals out but don’t want to compromise on quality.
In Belfast, Northern Ireland, EDŌ has been promoted, while Waterman features for the first time.
A modish bistro in the heart of the city, EDŌ comes with a faux-industrial look and an international sharing menu, with many dishes cooked over wood.
A bistro vibe is also found at Waterman, where unfussy modern dishes feature European flavours and Italy takes the lead.
Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guides commented: “Our inspectors have spotlighted establishments that stand out for their fine and generous cooking across a diverse range of styles; places that really deserve to be known by gourmets looking for their good quality, good value cooking.
“As chefs in Great Britain & Ireland face rising day-to-day costs – from the raw ingredients they purchase to the energy they use to keep their kitchens and restaurants running – it is heartening to see many of them also finding inventive ways to create affordable menus and keep costs down for their guests, while still offering creative and exciting culinary experiences.”
Several pubs and brasseries feature in the selection, and there’s great representation when it comes to Mediterranean, European and Asian cuisines. Small plates and the concept of shared dining is also a particularly common theme. Check out the full list HERE
