Davy Tissot, a "Grand de Demain" Gault&Millau 2006

Meilleur Ouvrier de France 2004, consecrated "Grand de Demain" by Gault&Millau in 2006, then Chef de Cuisine Formateur at the Institut Paul Bocuse's Saisons restaurant, Davy Tissot led his team to victory! This long-awaited accolade enables France to regain its leading position in the exclusive circle of gastronomic nations. This crowning reinforces France's determination to once again use its soft power to raise the international profile of our producers, craftsmen, chefs and all those involved in the culinary professions.

"He never gave in to things he didn't want to do," explains Marc Esquerré, Director of Investigations at Gault&Millau. Davy Tissot has always had a sense of rigor and ethics, in the service of French cuisine. His desire to pass on his knowledge has never been in doubt.

Gault&Millau, talent scouts, has always had the audacity to recognize the human and professional qualities of all those involved in the culinary professions.
