Bib Gourmand Defined and GB&I Complete Listing 2009
In the unique “language” of the Michelin Guide, the Bib symbols indicate the inspectors’ favourite establishments, offering high-quality products and services and good value for the money.
For even though the Michelin Guide is known and recognised for its “star” system, these
restaurants represent only 5% of the selection, the rest of which is comprised of good, small,
affordable priced establishments.
Among these establishments are the “Bibs,” with the Bib Gourmand symbol for restaurants and
the Bib Hotel symbol.
Bib is short for Bibendum, the character created in 1898 from the imagination of the Michelin
brothers, André and Edouard, and the pen of cartoonist O’Galop. Over the years, Bib—the one and only Michelin Man—has become the Group’s “mascot.” In the Michelin Guide, Bibendum’s head is a familiar, widely recognised red symbol.
The Bib Gourmand symbol was created in 1997. It indicates a restaurant offering good food at
moderate prices. For the 2009 Guide, the price of a full meal (excluding drinks) is under £28 (40
€ in the Republic of Ireland). Descriptions of Bib Gourmand restaurants include the
abbreviation Rest.
