A small number of restaurants have lost one or more stars this year. On March 18, the Michelin Guide unveiled its 2024 ranking, which has made many chefs and pastry chefs happy, but the famous red guide has also stripped one or more stars from 31 establishments throughout France, including 8 in Paris and the Ile-de-France region.
Once again this year, 12 French restaurants lost one or more stars due to the departure of a chef, a change of direction, a sale or simply the closure of the establishment. But nothing is ever set in stone, and it's a safe bet that the other downgraded restaurants, which lost a macaron due to a drop in the quality of their cuisine, will do everything in their power to win back this precious star.
The 2024 downgrades in Paris and Ile-de-France only concern 1-star establishments. They are therefore downgraded to a simple recommendation in the Michelin guide. The restaurant** Sur Mesure has been permanently withdrawn from the guide following the departure of chef Thierry Marx.
