On Tuesday, Michelin released its list of Bib Gourmand establishments in the very first Michelin Guide California.

Made up of 151 restaurants from all over California, the list covers 36 different types of cuisine, and the restaurants are all affordable (depending on your budget). Michelin's Bib Gourmand restaurants are all "restaurants that serve high-quality meals which include two courses and a glass of wine or dessert for $40 or less."

A few Check, Please! Bay Area restaurants—featured in the past or coming up this season—made it onto the list, like Pausa, Z & Y Restaurant, and more. Diners might not be too surprised to see other much-talked-about names picked out like Thomas Keller's La Calenda (an inspector praised it saying "The chef's Oaxacan upbringing shines through in regional Mexican cuisine") and Nyum Bai (owner Nite Yun was nominated for a James Beard Award, was a 2018 Eater Young Gun and her restaurant made it onto Bon Appetit's Hot Ten list).

See the full list of Bay Area restaurants who made the cut below (the new additions are bolded). You can read the inspectors' notes from their visit on Michelin's website, but you can also rewatch our guests' reviews for some of these restaurants on Check, Please! Bay Area. If they appeared on the show, we linked to the respective episode or written review.

Note: Restaurants who earn a Bib Gourmand are not eligible for a star in the same year, so any of the restaurants you see below will not be getting any Michelin stars in 2019.
