Eating in a

Michelin star restaurant

is the unattainable dream for most diners.

However, what may seem like a utopia only within the reach of a few ceases to be so when you come across restaurants with Michelin stars that offer menus within the reach of many pockets for

no more than 30 euros

.

And this is what is shown by a new map created by the

Chef's Pencil website that collects the

cheapest

restaurants awarded with the most coveted star of gastronomy in Europe

.

These are the 25

most affordable

Michelin star restaurants in Europe.

Chef's Pencil's

map

shows the 25 restaurants that

offer a "menu del dia

," which is usually served at lunch and is usually much more affordable than the usual tasting menu served at dinner.
