VINES, Richard,
Michelin Crowns Three-Star French Restaurant as Japan Leads, Bloomberg Businessweek, February 27, 2012.
Abstract : This article deals with the new three-star French restaurant, “Flocons
de Sel”. It shows the prestige of France and it compares the situation between
French and Japanese.
Quotation : “Michelin today awarded a third star to one more restaurant in France,
taking the total to 26 in the home of the guide, which drops further behind
Japan for top- rated establishments. The new accolade goes to Flocons de Sel,
housed in a chalet in the mountains of Megeve, in the Rhone-Alpes region of
southeastern France. Chef Emmanuel Renaut is known for modern seasonal dishes
such as a mille-feuille made with vegetables. “With an expanding array of
culinary trends and a constant focus on ingredients, high standards of cooking
and renovated interiors, the French restaurant industry is being revitalized
and transformed,” Michelin said today in an e-mailed release. Ten more
restaurants were awarded a second star, taking the total to 83, and 58 gained
their first, making 485. The 26 three-star total compares with 32 in Japan: 17
in the Tokyo region and 15 in the west of that country. Japan took the lead
last year, when it had 26 three stars, versus 25 in France. Flocons de Sel “has
become an indispensable destination for lovers of mountain scenery and fine
cuisine,” Michelin said. The new two stars in France include two in Paris: Sur
Mesure par Thierry Marx, in the Mandarin Oriental hotel; and L’Abeille, in the
Shangri-La, under chef Philippe Labbe. Also in Paris, single stars go to Kei, Sola, La
Truffiere, Le Diane, Le 39V, Le Lumiere, Cobea, Le Quinzieme-Cyril Lignac,
Akrame, Shang Palace, and Les Tablettes de JL Nomicos. British chef Gordon Ramsay retains two stars for his restaurant in
Versailles.”
