He owns three other restaurants in Paris.

Biography

Guy Savoy was born on 24 July 1953 in Nevers. In 1955, his parents moved to Bourgoin-Jallieu, a town in Isère, where his father was a gardener and his mother owned a taproom that she would transform into a restaurant. After a three-year apprenticeship with the Troisgros brothers and multiple experiences at prestigious restaurants,[2] he opened his own restaurant in New York before opening in rue Duret, Paris, in 1980, which received two Michelin stars in 1985. Savoy earned his third Michelin star in 2002. In 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020, La Liste named his restaurant at 11 quai de Conti the Best Restaurant in the World.[3]

Savoy is married to Danielle Savoy and has two children: Caroline (born 21 January 1978) and Franck (born 4 June 1979).

Career

Gordon Ramsay was trained under Guy Savoy, and has described him as his culinary mentor.[4][5][6]

Savoy opened his first restaurant in New York City, N.Y., in 1977, then his second restaurant in Paris three years later.[7]

Savoy opened the Las Vegas establishment in May 2006 at the Augustus tower of the Caesars Palace then followed by two breakfast/brunch take-away bars, Brioche in 2016 at Caesars and then in 2021 at Paris casino.[8] He opened a restaurant at Porto Arabia, Pearl Qatar in 2012 which closed two years later.[9] [10][11]

Savoy recorded the voice of sous-chef Horst for the French version of the Pixar animated film Ratatouille, released in August 2007.

Savoy is on the board of directors of the French Mission for Food Culture & Heritage (Mission Française du Patrimoine et des Cultures Alimentaires), which successfully applied for inscription of the "gastronomic meal of the French" on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.[12]

In 2017 and 2018, Savoy was a member of the Prix Versailles World Judges Panel.[13]

Just days before the release of the 2023 Michelin Guide for France, news broke that Savoy’s eponymous flagship restaurant in Paris was being demoted from three Michelin stars to two.[14][15][16]
