Gault Millau Switzerland is a restaurant and hotel guide specializing in rating and recommending high-end restaurants and hotels in Switzerland. Originally founded in France, Gault Millau has established itself in many countries and is considered one of the leading authorities on food criticism, alongside the Michelin Guide.
Gault Millau Switzerland tests and rates restaurants based on the quality of the food, the creativity of the cuisine, the service and the ambiance. Judging is based on points (up to 20), with special recognition given to chefs who receive between 13 and 20 points. Particularly highly rated restaurants also receive special rewards
The discoveries of the year are Dan Rodriguez-Zaugg and Alejandro Polo (“Sommerlust”, Schaffhausen, 15 points), André Kneubühler (“L’Omnia”, Zermatt, 16 points), Quentin Philippe (“Arakel”, Geneva, 15 points) as well as Joao Antunes (“Villa Emden”, Isole Brissago TI, 14 points).
