Value is too subjective to be discussed, but if we settle for “normal” portions at less than 300 bucks a meal, restaurants pushing to the top tier on taste also end up in the Michelin. If you’re into traditional “at home”, no nonsense cuisine, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed by the ones making it to the list.

Perhaps the deception is on thinking that any “excellent” restaurant will be pleasing to everyone who can afford it. If you don’t like oysters the best oyster spot in the world will be pretty meh, same way if you’re not into trendy stuff, the price tag won’t make it magically work for you.
