According to MICHELIN’s official website, “since 1997, ‘good quality, good value restaurants’ have been pointed out using the Bib Gourmand award. The price limit for ‘Bib’ consideration varies from country to country, depending on the cost of living. It’s not just about the price though – the cooking has to be good quality too.”
The list provided by MICHELIN yesterday did not identify the Bib Gourmand, Street Food and MICHELIN Selected restaurants in Macau. However, the list mentioned that the IFTM Educational Restaurant was awarded again the MICHELIN Green Star.
MICHELIN did not reveal which restaurants in Macau lost their star ranking.
According to Wikipedia, the MICHELIN Guides are guide books that have been published by the French tyre company MICHELIN since 1904 which award up to three MICHELIN stars for excellence to selected establishments.
