LES GRANDES TABLES DU MONDE
10 NEW MEMBERS
WELCOME TO THE 2023 PROMOTION!

On Monday, January 30th 2023, Les Grandes Tables Du Monde gathered with its members in the Salons Historiques of the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris for a cocktail party organised by Chef Quentin Testart and his teams to unveil the Association’s 2023 Guide and introduce its newest members: 10 this year, including 7 abroad.

“Beyond its long history, its numerous starred chefs and repertoire of prestigious establishments, Les Grandes Tables du Monde is much more than a plaque on the front of the restaurant. It is first and foremost the reflection of how haute gastronomy is constantly evolving, reflecting, questioning itself, seeking and often finding the right balance between tradition and modernity. Les Grandes Tables du Monde has been regularly compared to a family. This is still relevant in 2023, as it is exactly what our members are looking for (…). It is a family that is constantly evolving: some – albeit very few — leave us, others join us, some are based thousands of kilometres away and yet, something indescribable, beyond requirements and obligations, some kind of emotion, binds together all the members of this family.

This connection is very strong. And the pride is not limited to the chefs, it is an entire ecosystem of restaurants that live by this sense of honour and defend the great principles of Les Grandes Tables du Monde.

These values of sharing are essential because they reflect what gastronomic restaurants have become: they are no longer restricted to the overruling vision of their chef, but rather the product of an entire team’s commitment to a house’s philosophy and raison d’être”, explains David Sinapian, President of the Association.
