Gault&Millau UAE’s 2022 Guide, Winners and Restaurant Rankings: Everything You Missed from Last Night’s Gala.
Launched in the 1960s Parisian restaurant guide Gault&Millau is best known for their extensive dining reviews that include expert insight into the best of the best when it comes to where to eat around the world.
Introduced by journalists Henri Gault and Christian Millau, the guide consists of an in-depth ranking of luxurious dining locations on a scale from 1 to 20. Subject to the score, the restaurant can receive between one to five toques.
What is a Gault&Millau toque?
A toque, also known as Chef’s Hat, is a prestigious status and title given to all restaurants with high rankings in the following categories: quality of the food, service, drinks, atmosphere, and the restaurant itself.
Introducing Gault&Millau UAE…
Last night Gault&Millau UAE hosted their 2022 Gala at the Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, celebrating the country’s leading chefs, sommeliers, restaurant managers and restaurateurs while handing out 12 different awards and their first-ever toque ratings; this event occurred a few weeks after the announcement of their launch in the region.
