La Maison des Bois

"In the same family since 1926, this thatched-roof inn, clad in Virginia creeper has retained its character after a tasteful restoration. The same spirit prevails on the menu, with traditional fare and dishes inspired by market availability. Terrace in the shade of an old plane tree." - Michelin Inspector

French Chef’s Michelin Lawsuit Results in Loss | Eater

"Once rated three stars, the restaurant was downgraded to two after the guide claimed a soufflé contained cheddar, prompting the chef to sue Michelin to force production of documents (receipts and inspector notes) and to clarify the reasons for the demotion; he sought a symbolic €1 in damages. Michelin denied the alleged error and the inspector-related accusations, and the court ruled against the chef after he failed to show any adverse business impact — the chef said the restaurant had never been busier — while Michelin is seeking roughly €30,000 in damages and compensation. The chef has publicly rejected further association with the guide." - Monica Burton

South Korean Chef Sues Michelin Over 2020 Guide to Seoul | Eater

French Chef Marc Veyrat Wants to Give Back Michelin Stars | Eater

"After being demoted from three to two stars in the 2019 Michelin guide, the Manigod restaurant’s chef publicly demanded to return the two stars, arguing that inspectors did not properly judge the kitchen. He pointed to a specific factual error—an inspection reportedly said cheddar was used in a soufflé made with reblochon, beaufort and tomme, which the team denies and says does not appear on its online Michelin listing—and said the claim insulted the region and angered staff. He has also attacked the inspectors’ competence; Michelin rejected the request, defended the anonymity and validity of its inspections, and said it will continue to recommend the restaurant while remaining eligible for the guide." - Monica Burton
