    Copenhagen, Paris and Prague revealed as the top European cities for Michelin dining on a budget

    • Copenhagen and Paris are the two best cities for affordable MICHELIN dining in Europe, each with 14 budget-friendly restaurants listed in the MICHELIN Guide
    • Italy is the leading country for MICHELIN recommended restaurants on a budget
    • Only restaurants selling a full meal for less than £25 or $25 on average are included in the findings 

    Copenhagen and Paris are the best European cities for budget-friendly MICHELIN dining in Europe, according to new research released today by travel money provider, John Lewis Finance.   

    The capital cities are each home to 14 budget-friendly restaurants listed in the Guide, making them the joint top European destinations for affordable MICHELIN dining.  Prague follows in third spot with 13 restaurants within this more affordable category (less than less than £25 or €35 on average for a meal).  

    As a travel money provider, John Lewis Finance analysed 16,000 restaurants listed within the MICHELIN Guide to help holiday budgets go further. Using MICHELIN’s own pricing criteria – only restaurants where diners can get a full meal for less than £25 or €35 on average, are included in the list.  

    Known for its innovative and quirky food scene, Copenhagen is home to a diverse range of quality restaurants that suit any budget, from traditional Scandinavian cooking specialists such as Restaurant Carl Nielsen, to restaurants serving modern and highly experimental dishes not found anywhere else. 

    Sharing the top spot and famed for its Nouvelle Cuisine, traditional cooking, and being the training ground of some of the world’s most revered chefs, Paris has a reputation as the epicentre of gastronomy. However, with many restaurants featuring within the research, the findings show that fine dining doesn’t have to cost the earth. For affordable, classic French dining, look no further than À la Biche au Bois on avenue Ledru-Rollin. 

    Matt Richardson at John Lewis Finance commented: “Exploring different cultures and cuisines is one of the most appealing aspects of travel, and it’s hugely positive to see that so many acclaimed restaurants have a budget-friendly price-point.   

    “Our research tells us that some of Europe’s finest restaurants listed in the MICHELIN Guide are cash-only, so we encourage all holiday makers to ensure that they don’t miss out on a fabulous dining experience by always carrying some local currency.”
