French hosts with the most

Following a very tough year for the French restaurant trade, for its 2021 edition the Michelin guide decided to celebrate front-of-house roles, such as service and wine waiting, and not just the talented chefs behind the country’s finest cuisine.

The special Welcome and Service Award went to Delphine Alemany of one-starred La Closerie in Ansouis and Marion Denieul from Maison Tiegezh in Guer (main image), restaurants which hold one star. Vanessa Massé (inset), wine waiter at one-starred Pure & V in Nice, won the Wine Waiting Award. Brava à tous!
