Gault&Millau ratings
Gault&Millau’s revered rating system sees restaurants visited anonymously by professional food critics, and then ranked on a scale of 1 to 20, with points awarded based solely on the quality of the food. Any comments regarding service, price and a restaurant’s atmosphere, meanwhile, are considered separately. Based on a restaurant’s overall rating, restaurants are able to display one to five toques (or chef hats), reflecting their standing in Gault&Millau’s guides. All visits by Gault&Millau critics are anonymous and fully paid for.
The brand was founded in Paris in 1969 by two French journalists and food critics, Henri Gault and Christian Millau, who issued the first Gault&Millau Guide of Courses. Now, the brand is a leading authority and critique on fine dining around the world, operating in more than 15 territories globally.
The Gault&Millau trademark currently includes an annual French guide, eight regional guides, 15 licences worldwide, the GaultMillau Academy (established by chefs who have been promoting French gastronomy for over 25 years) and the 109, the guide highlighting 109 young chefs, embodying the revival of French gastronomy in Paris, and PoP by Gault&Millau, offering a selection of atmospheric spots of the moment.
