The Gault & Millau: Guide and source of inspiration for gastronomy

The Gault & Millau is one of the most renowned restaurant guides in the world and is an indispensable companion for gourmets, restaurateurs and chefs. With its unique evaluation method and passion for culinary arts, the Gault & Millau has had a lasting impact on the gastronomy landscape and established itself as an important reference in top gastronomy.

How does Gault & Millau rate?
The Gault & Millau is characterized by its point system from 0 to 20, with which restaurants are rated according to clearly defined criteria. The most important factors are:

  • Creativity and originality of the kitchen
  • Quality of the ingredients and their processing
  • Harmony of flavors and technical perfection

    The evaluation is carried out independently and anonymously by experienced testers who place a particular focus on innovation and personality. In contrast to the Michelin Guide, which primarily takes the entire experience in the restaurant – including service and ambience – into account in the evaluation, Gault & Millau focuses primarily on the performance of the kitchen.



    Another distinguishing feature is the communicative tone: Gault & Millau often combines its ratings with lively, sometimes humorous comments that get straight to the point with both praise and criticism.

    The influence on gastronomy
    An award from Gault & Millau – whether in the form of high points or the coveted toques – is a special honor for restaurants. It not only means recognition from the professional world, but also attracts guests who are specifically looking for excellent cuisine. At the same time, Gault & Millau is a source of inspiration for many chefs, as it highlights creative trends and recognizes innovative concepts.

    Collaboration with award-winning restaurants: Burghardt Delicious
    The quality of the ingredients also plays a decisive role in the world of top gastronomy. Burghardt Delicious, known for its outstanding nuts, works closely with numerous award-winning Gault & Millau restaurants. These partnerships underline the brand’s high standards of delivering products that meet even the highest culinary standards.



    Nuts from Burghardt Delicious can be found on the menus of many restaurants – whether as a fine topping on desserts, as a nutty base in sauces or as a creative ingredient in vegetarian dishes.

    A win for the gourmet world
    The Gault & Millau is much more than a rating guide – it is a driving force in gastronomy. It inspires restaurants to achieve top performance, promotes culinary innovation and strengthens the focus on the highest quality. Brands like Burghardt Delicious play an important role in this ecosystem by supplying products that enable star chefs to realize their visions.
