The Gault&Millau Spirit

Gault&Millau Mission

  • SELECT & RECOMMEND: Offer our community of epicurean and curious readers the guarantee of discovering, through our selections and recommendations, the best that the professionals in the restaurant, hospitality and F&B professionals have to offer.
 
  • DISCOVER & SUPPORT: unearth talents, showcase and promote them; guide chefs towards ever greater excellence and create fair and supportive connections with a community of chefs and players in the restaurant and hospitality industries.
 
  • EDIT & PROMOTE: Since 1972, the “Guide France” has been rating and awarding toques to nearly 2,500 establishments across the entire country each year. 11 regional guides are also published, enhancing those who promote the resources of their local produce and region, including chefs and craftsmen. The mission of the “Guide Jaune”, among other things, is to reveal young talents who contribute to revolutionizing the “nouvelle cuisine”. In the “Livre 109”, each of the chefs who are the “new blood” of gastronomy shares a recipe and introduces their cuisine in our kitchen. From chefs to craftsmen and even winegrowers: the “Livre des champagnes” lists the best bottles that contribute to the influence of a terroir and the French art of living. Finally, the magazine; to see the world through gastronomy. Since November 2023, the guide and the magazine complement each other once again; one offering expert opinions, the other providing the perspective of journalists. Gault&Millau also organizes events throughout the year, culminating in the November Gala which awards the best talents in the gastronomic scene and marks the release of the annual “Guide Jaune”. Since 2012, each regional guide release has been celebrated with a dedicated event: the “Gault&Millau Tour”, bringing together local chefs, elected officials, partners, press… Additionally, for the past 10 years, Gault&Millau and its partners have been supporting young chefs in their restaurant opening projects through the “Dotation Jeunes Talents”. A great opportunity for these entrepreneurs to receive a grant in equipment, raw materials, and services, to help them with their life project.

Gault&Millau Values

IMPARTIALITY & ETHICS. Investigations are conducted in each establishment by anonymous experts who do not announce themselves, do not reveal their identities at the end of the meal, and pay their bill.

OBJECTIVITY & INDEPENDENCE. Each investigator, remaining neutral and impartial, completes a highly standardized evaluation grid for each visited establishment or tasted product, which allows for a precise and informed report thereafter.

KINDNESS & RESPECT. Chefs and professionals are supported and assisted throughout their careers. Their work is observed uncompromisingly but always with consideration.

KNOWLEDGE & KNOW-HOW. Spread the food culture and culinary expertise across all audiences through Gault&Millau’s publications and events.

PIONEERING SPIRIT & RECOGNITION. Find new talent, give them visibility and recognition amongst their peers through grants and regional and national awards.
