Anne-Sophie Pic x Marc Lévy: A delicious blend of genres

1/30/25, 8:00 AM

One is an emblematic figure of French gastronomy whose talent shines on a planetary scale. The other is the most widely read French writer in the world. Anne-Sophie Pic and Marc Lévy, two famous names who admire each other without ever having met... until the day Gault&Millau decided to put in its two cents. A delicious intuition that was just the right one, to bring cuisine and literature into unison

" Based on a true story. "It's a fitting title for Anne-Sophie Pic's very first exchange with Marc Lévy. For the plot has a romantic flavour. The two had already crossed paths on various occasions, but never seized the opportunity for a chat, until that orchestrated lunch at La Dame de Pic (15/20, 3 G&M toques). Precisely where the writer had reserved a table just a few weeks after the opening of the 4-toque chef's first Parisian restaurant in Valence. That was back in 2012. Twelve years later, here they are face to face, demonstrating the correlation between literature that nourishes the spirit and cuisine that anchors memories.
