The winners of the Michelin Bib Gourmand award has been announced for the 2019 guide
The winners of the Michelin Bib Gourmand award has been announced for the 2019 guide. The Bib Gourmand is an accolade that recognises exceptionally good food at more moderate prices than what might be found at a traditional Michelin Star restaurant.
The director of the Michelin Guide in the UK said “Prices and value for money are important, but the Bib Gourmand is about much more; it’s about the ethos and philosophy of a restaurant. The Michelin Inspectors love finding new Bib Gourmands and they’re always hugely popular with our readers.”
The Bib Gourmand 2019 award has gone to the following restaurants:
- Antidote, Ilfracombe, Devon
- The Barn at Moor Hall, Lancashire
- The Bell Inn, Langford, Gloucestershire

Although The Charlton Arms has been in the Michelin Guide for a long time, they are a new addition to the Bib Gourmand awards. The hotel and restaurant has been recognised for its excellent standards, not only by Michelin for its food, but boasts an AA five stars award, an AA rosette for culinary excellence and has been placed in The Times’ best restaurants lists many times.
