Entre Nous – Michelin guide unveils stars to 68 French restaurants

  • On March 31, 2025, the Michelin Guide awarded new stars to 68 restaurants in France, celebrating emerging young talents and promoting food as a remedy for global anxieties, at a ceremony held in Metz, eastern France.
  • The Michelin Guide, initially a recommendation list for drivers 125 years ago, has evolved into a global business aiming to move beyond its reputation for elitism by including more diverse and internationally recommended dining options, such as roadside stalls in Thailand and Singapore, and a taco stand in Mexico City.
  • Two restaurants, Christopher Coutanceau in La Rochelle and Le Coquillage in Brittany, both specializing in seafood, joined the prestigious three-star category, which signifies kitchens where cooking is elevated to an art form.
  • Michelin Guide director Gwendal Poullennec, age 58 and a former celebrity food judge, addressed a crowd of 600 chefs, acknowledging global worries but emphasizing the continuing importance of cooking, hospitality, knowledge sharing, and creativity.
  • Despite the awards, controversy continues to surround the Michelin Guide, with chef Marc Veyrat, whose restaurant in the Alps costs 450 euros a head, having previously sued the guide unsuccessfully after being stripped of a star in 2019 in a dispute dubbed "cheddar-gate," and chef Vincent Favre-Felix considering returning his one-star award.
