Oldest existing restaurant with Michelinster plays a star for the first time in more than 40 years: “No problem, then we do it with two”

Large gastronomic news from France: the iconic chef Georges Blanc (82) has lost one of his three stars. What makes the news extra special is that Blancs Restaurant has had a Michelin star for some time than any other restaurant in the world. Moreover, the restaurant had three stars continuously since 1981.

The restaurant of Georges Blanc, which simply bears his name, was founded in 1872 as La Mère Blanc. The restaurant in Vonnas, north of Lyon, received his first Michelin star in 1929, barely three years after the Michelinids started to award stars to restaurants. In 1931 a second star followed, who received Blancs grandmother Élisa. Georges Blanc himself took over the helm in 1968, at the age of 25. He did that with so much verve that his restaurant was rewarded in 1981 with a third star. Which he has now lost for the first time in all this time.

“We didn’t expect it,” admits 82-year-old Blanc to AFP. “One star will be missing, so we have to do it with the two stars. No problem.”

According to the French The point the contribution of Blanc to the French heritage, despite the loss of a star, is “in no way questioned”, and the chance is not non -existent that the chef will regain his third star in the future.

Gwendal Poulennec, director of the Michelinids, praises the long tradition of quality that Blanc has been honoring for decades. “I can assure you that the Michelingids teams will continue to follow this restaurant this year and in the coming years with the same friendliness and high standards,” Poulennec told AFP.

To news channel CNN, a spokesperson for the Michelinids lists the criteria on which inspectors ranges restaurants. “Those criteria have been the same for 125 years and they are exclusively focused on the dish. It concerns five important criteria: the quality of the ingredients, the cooking technique, the harmony of flavors, the way in which the personality of the chef is expressed in the menu and the consistency between different inspection visits.”

On March 31, the Michelinids will reveal its new list of star restaurants for the year 2025. Traditionally, the restaurants that lose a star are first announced. In addition to Georges Blanc, there are 44 French restaurants that have that fate.

The presentation of the Michelin stars for Belgium takes place on April 28 in Antwerp.
