And from Michelin themselves: "A superb promotion, which proves that the pool of major French tables do not dry up ,on the contrary!"
This new edition of the Michelin guide illustrates once again the extraordinary richness and dynamism of French regions. Thanks to a generous land and the unique diversity in the world, Michelin guide inspectors have unearthed beautiful tables remarkable quality, sometimes located in very small towns. This is the case of the Clair de Plume in Grignan (awarded one star) common to just over 1,600 inhabitants and Gaspard tables located in Saint Crepin (1 star), which has only 1,300 inhabitants.
Michelin also note the young generation continues to bring the future of French cuisine to the forefront with several young leaders getting their first star like Ludovic Turac, aged 26, at Une Table au Sud in Marseille or Joel Phillips, 27, from Esprit Terroir in Strasbourg.
