3 Michelin stars for Paris chef, Alps eatery
Print Edition
TWO French restaurants tasted the ultimate accolade in top-level gastronomy yesterday, winning three coveted Michelin stars in the guide’s 2015 edition.
“La Bouitte” in the French Alps, run by father-and-son team Rene and Maxime Meilleur and Yannick Alleno’s Parisian restaurant “Ledoyen” joined the pantheon of top eateries in the self-styled home of gastronomy.
Rene, 64, and Maxime, 39, were awarded the industry’s top prize for their “extraordinary” skills with fish, said Michael Ellis, director of international guides for Michelin.
The food Bible hailed the Alpine chalet restaurant, located at an altitude of 2,500 meters, as “generous, authentic and full of emotion”.
But such three-star cuisine does not come cheap. A three-course “surprise” menu will set you back 115 euros (US$130).
Away from the mountains, “Ledoyen”, near the capital’s famed Champs Elysees, retained its three-star status but with a new chef, the 46-year-old Alleno, at the pass.
Alleno, who already won three stars in 2007 for his work at Le Meurice in Paris, was cited for his skill with sauces.
He has perfected an “extraction” technique for sauces, resulting in an ultra-pure jus with an intense flavor.
The 2015 guide crowned 26 three-star restaurants in France, one fewer than last year. Worldwide, there are 111. There were 80 two-star restaurants (seven of them new) and 503 one-star restaurants (37 of them first-timers). In total, there are now 609 Michelin-starred restaurants in France.
