Prestigious Gastronomy Guide Gault & Millau to Launch in Türkiye in Partnership with Sözen Group…

Gault & Millau, one of the world's leading gastronomy guides, will be published in Türkiye in 2024 in partnership with Sözen Group. The event held to introduce the project was attended by Sözen Group Chairman of the Board Gökmen Sözen, Deputy Minister of Culture and Tourism Özgül Özkan Yavuz, Gault & Millau General Manager Patric Hayoun, TÜROB Vice President and Board Member of the Service Exporters' Association Hediye Güral Gür, as well as numerous chefs, guests and members of the press.

The Gault & Millau guide was first published in 1969 by two journalists, food critic Henri Gault and Christian Millau. For a full 50 years, Gault & Millau has been pursuing talent. To date, it has been prepared and published following research in 16 countries. Türkiye will be the 17th country in which the project is carried out. During the guide's preparation stages, separate evaluations are made regarding service, price and the restaurant's atmosphere. The conclusion is reached with a score from one to 20 based on the quality of the food. High-scoring restaurants earn, according to their rating, between one and four toques bearing the signature of Gault & Millau. Payment is not accepted in exchange for inclusion in the guide. While all work carried out by the esteemed guide, which acts with the aim of elevating gastronomy culture to a higher level, is appreciated, no offensive or negative comments about chefs or restaurants are included. Believing in the originality of every chef and restaurant, Gault & Millau works with independent gastronomy experts to score restaurants and chefs.
