Our Commitments
Our commitments reflect the principles that guide Gault&Millau every day.
They shape the way we assess, support and act alongside the professionals and communities who bring gastronomy to life.
-
Impartiality & Ethics
Our inspectors visit each establishment anonymously: they never announce themselves, never reveal their identity at the end of the meal and always pay their bill.
-
Objectivity & Independence
Neutral and impartial, each inspector completes the shared international evaluation grid for every establishment visited or product tasted, allowing a precise and well-argued report.
-
Kindness & Respect
Chefs and professionals are supported and accompanied throughout their careers. Their work is observed without complacency, but always with consideration.
-
Knowledge & Know-how
We share the culture of taste and culinary know-how with every audience, through Gault&Millau publications and events.
-
Pioneering Spirit & Recognition
We discover new talents and give them visibility and the recognition of their peers, through grants and regional and national awards.
-
Transparency
Gault&Millau makes its methods and evaluation criteria clear to professionals and readers alike. Advertising, sponsored and partnership content is always clearly identified and never influences selections or scores.
