Gault & Millau UAE

Gault&Millau was launched in the 1960s in Paris, France by journalists Henri Gault and Christian Millau. They introduced in-depth restaurant reviews focusing on taste, quality, creativity and simiplicity of cooking.

Decades later those founding principles continue to guide Gault&Millau fine dining guides around the world.Gault&Millau’s mission is to provide diners with unbiased, independent restaurant reviews based on the experiences of anonymous investigators who always pay for their meals.

Each restaurant is scored using a meticulous system and rated out of 20. Scores between 13 and 20 result in the restaurant receiving between one and five toques (or chef’s hats). Another key part of Gault&Millau is to recognise talent in restaurants, whether that is in the kitchen or front of house and to create a sense of community within a country or city’s F&B sector.
