Who says good food doesn't come cheap?
The Michelin Guide on Wednesday announced 45 restaurants across the state, including more than a dozen in the Southland, as recipients of its Bib Gourmand designation that recognizes good food at reasonable prices.
According to Michelin, eateries that receive the designation 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," excluding tax and tip.
Here's a list of Los Angeles-area eateries that made the grade:
