Gordon Ramsay's restaurants hold onto stars in Michelin Guide France
Gordon Ramsay's French restaurants have held onto their Michelin stars following the release of the 2023 Michelin Guide France.
The chef's Bordeux restaurant Le Pressoir d'Argent has kept its two star status for a sixth year in a row.
Michelin awarded the venue its first star in 2016, despite Ramsay causing headlines by putting English sparkling wine on the menu and joking that it "hadn't started a riot yet".
His Au Trianon restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria Trianon Palace Versailles hotel (pictured) also held onto its single star. It was downgraded from two stars in 2016 and has yet to regain its second.
There were 39 new one-star restaurants and four new two-star restaurants in this year's Michelin Guide France, which announced its new additions on 6 March.
La Marine, a restaurant run by 47-year-old Alexandre Couillon on a remote island in the Bay of Biscay, was the only new three-star restaurant.
Last month, Michelin made the shock announcement that Guy Savoy's Monnaie de Paris restaurant and the Restaurant Christopher Coutanceau in La Rochelle would both be downgraded from three to two stars.
Savoy has been named the best chef in the world for the last six years by restaurant guide La Liste and his restaurant has held three stars since 2002.
The 2023 edition of the Michelin Guide Great Britain and Ireland will be released on 27 March. Last year, 20 restaurants lost their stars, although 16 were due to closures.
