The awards ceremony at Place Vendôme began with a minute of silence for three-star chef Benoît Violier, who was found dead on Sunday in his Swiss home of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot.
Two of Paris’s ritziest dining establishments joined the select list of three-Michelin-star restaurants in the 2016 Michelin Guide. Chef Alain Ducasse recuperated a third star for his restaurant at the Plaza Athénée hotel while Christian Le Squer won a triple star for Le Cinq, his restaurant in the George V hotel.
In bestowing the award, the guide’s international director, Michael Ellis, said Ducasse’s cuisine “offers an unprecedented marriage of flavours and shakes up the codes of haute gastronomy”.
