Today, because quality and transparency are paramount, many food lovers seek out restaurants with the Maître Restaurateur title.
This title is awarded by the French government on the basis of an audit carried out by an independent body at the request of the establishment. This distinction allows customers to identify establishments of excellence. It guarantees that the entire menu is homemade from raw and mostly fresh products, incorporating short supply chains.
