As the saying goes, never 7 without 8. So, for the eighth consecutive year, the French chef wins this highly prestigious title thanks to his restaurant located at quai de Conti. It's quite an astonishing (but no less deserved) victory, considering that the establishment lost its third Michelin star at the beginning of last year.
A Popular Prize

I now know I have a love factor,” he had already declared to Ouest-France last year when he received his 7th accolade. Isn't that sweet…
A Spot Worth Its Weight in Gold
