"I dreamed of it, Grévin made it happen!". After the kitchens of Paris's top tables, it's off to the Grévin Museum! Yannick Alléno is the latest addition to the museum's wax-figure collection at the famous venue in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. A new personality from French gastronomy makes its appearance among the celebrities represented.
This feature mainly offers a chance to look back at the career path of one of France's most Michelin-starred chefs. Son of restaurateurs, Yannick Alléno trained notably with the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France Gabriel Biscay and Roland Durand, before working with Manuel Martinez at the Louis XIII and then Louis Grondard at Drouant. His starred career really kicks off at the Scribe, where he lands his first Michelin star in 2000, followed by a second in 2002.
In 2003, he takes the helm of the kitchens at the Meurice. Two Michelin stars follow in 2004, then the pinnacle with three Michelin stars in 2007. He founds his group the following year, before taking over in 2014 the Pavillon Ledoyen, near the Champs-Élysées. His restaurant Alléno Paris earns three stars there just seven months after opening.
The chef then expands to two more concepts under the same roof: L'Abysse Paris, today double-starred, and Pavyllon Paris, awarded one star. Pavillon Ledoyen now boasts six Michelin stars. And 2026 brings an extra honor: Monsieur Dior, the 30 Montaigne restaurant led by Yannick Alléno since 2025, earned its first Michelin star in March. The chef’s group now claims 18 stars across 10 establishments in France and abroad.
