Paris is the city with the highest number of Michelin-starred restaurants in the world. Research by the culinary website Chef’s Pencil shows that a meal in a Michelin-starred restaurant in the French capital costs an average of €210 ($230) per person. According to the same research, the most expensive Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris, Guy Savoy, charges €680 ($735) per person for the tasting menu. But among the 121 Parisian restaurants that have been awarded the prestigious distinction in 2024, some are surprisingly affordable.

Because very few people have $228 to spend on a single meal — let alone $735 — we looked the lists of the cheapest Michelin-starred restaurants, compiled by Michelin Guide itself and Chef’s Pencil, to map the 15 most affordable options in Paris (under €60 or $65) . That way, you can try out some very fancy food without blowing your budget.

The cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant in Paris for lunch is Benoît, holder of one Michelin star and located in the fourth Arrondissement of Paris. The lunch menu starts at €32 ($35) for a starter and an entrée or an entrée and a dessert. If you opt for the bigger lunch option (starter, entrée, and dessert), it’ll cost you €42 ($45).

Of course, making a reservation early is highly recommended for the restaurants featured on this map, especially if you’re visiting this summer while the Olympic Games are taking place.
