About Gault&Millau

The Gault&Millau restaurant guide can be compared to the Michelin guide. With one important difference: restaurants at Gault&Millau are symbolically awarded with chef’s hats instead of stars. How many chef hats a restaurant gets depends on a number of factors. For example, the taste of the dishes is of course important, but also the reception, advice for wine, atmosphere and much more.
