RANKED: The 50 cheapest Michelin-starred meals in the world (1)

No matter where in the world you live, it's easy to assume that Michelin-starred dining should be reserved for splurge-worthy special occasions only — and that even then, it may drain your savings.

Advertisem*nt

However, this is no longer the case, and there are actually some affordable options if you know where and when to go.

Booking platform Traveloka conducted research into the 50 cheapest Michelin-starred meals in the world — and it found that there are reasonable options all over the planet, starting from just $2.20.

In order to produce the list, the site used the official Michelin website for each country covered by the guide in order to find the cheapest one and two-star restaurants. It then ranked them by the price of an individual meal, whether it was an the cheapest mainà la carte dish available or a set menu.

According to Traveloka, a meal at the world's most expensive restaurant — Ibiza's Sublimation — would cost the same as a meal in all 50 of the restaurants on this list combined.

Scroll down to see the 50 most affordable Michelin-starred restaurants on the planet, ranked by price of the cheapest à la carte dish or set menu, from most expensive to cheapest.

Note: All meal options and local prices are accurate as of June 2018, while all exchange rates are accurate as of August 2018.

30. Stazione di Posta, Rome, Italy — $32.10

🇮🇹 Hidden behind the Testaccio market, @StazioneDiPosta may be hard to find but it's worth the effort. Chef Luigi Nastri flawlessly blends together Japanese, French and Italian techniques to create a fantastic explosion of flavours. For dinner I opted to go with the 4 course menu for 60€. The amuse bouche was thinly sliced oxtail on toast which contrasted well with the apricot underneath. There was also a phyllo pastry with goat cheese and herbs. I found the phyllo to be too hard but enjoyed the goat cheese paired with dill. The Tuna Sauce Veal was a creamy purée of tuna and capers was wrapped inside the most tender slice of veal and then soaked in a aromatic bonito fish broth. So good! The next dish was compliments of the kitchen - a Gnocchi Sorrentina served in a tomato and mozzarella broth with tomato confit, tomato powder and tomato chips. This was a wonderful symphony of tangy and sweet. The gnocchi was perfectly cooked and the tomatoes soaked up all the broth making them pop like little bubbles of happiness. Ash beef is wagyu steak that is charred on the outside with leek powder while maintaining an incredibly juicy inside. It went really well with the sweet potato purée. It was also served with glazed carrots and a salad of herby greens. The Spaghetti had the strongest flavour. Made with black garlic, and sea anemones with a bit of chili, topped with an almond foam and sprinkled with a black cod fish crumble, the result was a rich, deep intense flavor with a spicy kick. Dessert was the Dolce Bianco made with almond crumble, followed by some almond foam with a green bean paste center, and some meringue on top. This was good but lacked the punch the other dishes had offered. Finally, two little treats - one made of dark chocolate with ricotta and pistachio; and the other a half macaroon with a Guanabana ganache. The first was nice with a crunchy chocolate shell and somehow almost tasted like mint chocolate ice cream. The macaroon, however, was a little too sweet. An incredibly creative and exciting meal, well deserving of its Michelinstar. . 📌 Largo Dino Frisullo, 1, 00153 Roma RM, Italy #grasshoppereatsItalia
