The celebrity French chef Marc Veyrat is suing the Michelin Guide after inspectors stripped his restaurant of its coveted third star, claiming they had botched their evaluation, in particular over a cheese souffle.

 

“I’ve been dishonoured, I saw my team in tears ... to have them call you one evening without warning, without anything written down, without anything, to say ‘that’s it, it’s over’,” Veyrat told France Inter radio on Tuesday.

 

Veyrat’s La Maison des Bois restaurant in the French Alps was demoted to two stars from the maximum three in January, a year after he secured the industry’s highest accolade.

 

He said the move had plunged him into depression, and later demanded – in vain - he be removed from the vaunted red guides.
