The Michelin Guide associates itself with the very best of fine-dining across the world — often bearing a hefty price tag.

However, while some Michelin-starred tasting menus will set diners back hundreds of pounds per person, not all fine-dining experiences have to drain your wallet while they fill your stomach.

Business Insider has compiled a list of every restaurant in the UK where you don't have to fork out more than £30 for a Michelin-stared experience.

Although there aren't any two- or three-starred restaurants that fall in this price range, there are plenty of one-starred Michelin-starred spots scattered across the country suited for any occasion — including 11 restaurants newly awarded stars earlier this month.

Scroll on to discover every Michelin-starred restaurant in the UK where you can dine for £30 or less per person, ranked by price from most expensive to cheapest.
