Meeting with Laurent Petit and Mauro Colagreco, the new three-star chefs.
We are deeply sorry to announce that our member Andrew Fairlie has passed away at the age of 55 on January 22 2019. Andrew had been ill for several years. Andrew has joined our association in 2017. His restaurant was located in Scotland in the heart of the Gleneagles Hotel famous for its golf course. Opened in 2001, the restaurant reached 1 Michelin star a year after in 2002, and two stars in 2006.
The organisation Les Grandes Tables du Monde gathered in Paris on January 21st to celebrate the launch of its 2019 guide, which coincides with the 65th birthday of this prestigious circle. President David Sinapian reiterated the association’s on-going commitments and unveiled the new members – 13 this year – who will complement our great contemporary gastronomic community.
Ciccio Sultano’s Restaurant is a home; it is situated in the restored ground floor of Palazzo La Rocca in Ibla with profoundly elegant interior.
The Villa built by René Lalique, in 1920, has had a new destiny since 2015: it is now the sumptuous setting of a gourmet restaurant, awarded two stars in the Michelin Guide in January 2016, only three months after its opening. With their brigade, chefs Paul Stradner and Jean-Georges Klein have developed menus that take us to a very creative kitchen. “To delight our guests’palates, we highlight the products, which are sublimated by our local producers. It is the marriage and balance of flavours that inspires us, particularly of those coming from Alsace and Austria, our respective regions.”

Nuance is about class and conviviality. With us you get the best dishes and atmosphere in a beautiful setting with flawless service. Nuance is a bit of Paris with a personal twist. We want to continue evolving both in the kitchen and in the service. I still put my dishes completely to my hand and my wife Sofie always manages to serve them with a smile. She knows how important hospitality is. She is my support and my extension in the restaurant.
