It’s his restaurant Guy Savoy from 11 quai de Conti in the 6e district of Paris, renowned for its famous artichoke soup with black truffles, which will lose its third star in the 2023 edition of Michelin. Other disconcerting news, the loss of the Grail was also announced in preview for the restaurant Christopher Coutanceau from the Rochelais chef of the same name, who had held 3 stars since 2020.
According to our colleagues from Point, the world director of the Michelin gastronomic guides Gwendal Poullennec would have announced the news himself in the afternoon to Guy Savoy. “These are exceptional restaurants, so you can imagine that these are decisions that have been carefully considered, supported by numerous visits from our inspectors throughout the year,” Gwendal Poullennec told AFP. “Until now, I had only known the best moments in my career,” reacted the Isérois chef to AFP. “We lost the game this year but we will win it again next year.”
In total, five downgrades were revealed by the Michelin guide, because the Alpaca table in Megeve, Jean-Luc Tartarin in Le Havre and the Restaurant Michel Sarran in Toulouse were also downgraded, each losing their 2nd stars… As for the first stars, the results are heavy with 20 tables downgraded.

According to the Michelin guide, an establishment that wins two stars offers “excellent cuisine and a table that deserves a detour”. The full list of new 2-star restaurants for 2023 will be unveiled on this page on March 6.
A star indicates “very good cuisine in its category”. The list of new stars will be announced here from Monday, March 6, 2023.

The inspectors of the Michelin Guide, about forty in all, travel through France and Europe to award stars to a restaurant according to five criteria: the quality of the products, the personality of the cuisine (i.e. creativity), the mastery of cooking and flavors, the quality/price ratio as well as the regularity in the quality of the dishes offered. Avant-garde tables, traditional inns, remarkable institutions, the restaurants selected all testify to the richness of French heritage.
The 2023 edition of the Michelin France guide will be released on March 10, 2023 at a price of 29 euros.
Since 1900, the Michelin guide has listed good restaurants. Originally, the guide was offered to car drivers, it indicated railway stations, post offices, doctors, pharmacists, hotels and restaurants. If at the beginning, the stars indicated the price category of the restaurants, they did not take long to represent the quality of the establishment on the following basis: one star means excellent cuisine in its category, two stars indicate a table that is worth a detour. , and finally, three stars highlight exceptional cuisine, a table that is worth the trip.
Historically, the Michelin guide therefore indicated the best restaurants for drivers who traveled the roads of France. This is still true: a large number of houses are still near the national 7, a very busy road, linking Paris to the South of France. Many of today’s 3 stars are the legacy of ancestral houses taken over by the younger generation, like Maison Pic, Lameloise, Maison Troisgros…
