The uae’s leading voice on fine dining
Gault&Millau, one of the world’s most established and respected fine dining critique brands, began in Paris in 1969, when French journalists and food critics Henri Gault and Christian Millau published the original Gault&Millau Guide.
The brand arrived in the UAE in 2022, where Gault&Millau’s esteemed rating system relies on anonymous restaurant visits to rate food quality, service, price and atmosphere on a 1-20 scale.
Based on the venue’s overall score, restaurants can display one to five toques.
Today, Gault&Millau UAE offers an annual guide and gala, daily digital and social content, events and the region’s first-ever Champagne Index, which brings transparency to diners and accountability to restaurateurs.
