Gault&Millau Academy 2027: Who Are the Twelve French Academicians?
Founded in 2019, the Gault&Millau Academy brings together chefs who have reached the pinnacle of their craft. Their restaurants are no longer rated, but they are still recommended. Here is the complete list of French Academy members for the year 2027.
This Monday, November 9, the 2026 Gault&Millau gala will bring together the leading figures of French gastronomy at the Carrousel du Louvre. Among them were members of the Gault&Millau Academy, a very exclusive circle of chefs who have left their mark on French cuisine through their talent and longevity.
What is the Gault&Millau Academy?
Founded in 2019, the Gault&Millau Academy originally brought together ten of the most iconic and passionate chefs on the French gastronomic scene: Georges Blanc, Alain Ducasse, Pierre Gagnaire, Michel Guérard, Marc Haeberlin, Régis Marcon, Alain Passard, Guy Savoy, Michel Trama, and Marc Veyrat. Other members have joined them over the years, such as Bernard Pacaud, Gilles Tournadre, and Patrick Henriroux, who were inducted in 2024.
Through their cuisine and their artistic vision, these chefs have helped promote France’s culinary heritage, both at home and abroad. Because they have reached the pinnacle of their art, Gault&Millau has decided that their restaurants will no longer be rated, but will always be recommended.
