Paul Bocuse: Famed chef's restaurant loses three-star rating after 55 years

The restaurant of famed French cook Paul Bocuse has lost its three-star Michelin rating, stirring controversy.

L'Auberge du Pont de Collonges referred to just as Paul Bocuse, had held its crème de la crème rating since 1965 - a world record.

Be that as it may, the Michelin Guide said the nourishment quality was "no longer at the degree of three stars". It will presently have two.

The group of Bocuse - a culinary symbol in France - said they were "irritated" by choice.

The Michelin Guide's head Gwendal Poullenec visited the eatery close to Lyon on Thursday to convey the news.

"There was a great deal of feeling," he told the Washington Post in a meeting, including that there had been "a variety in the degree of the cooking; however it stays astounding."

Bocuse, who kicked the bucket in 2018 matured 91, was an easily recognised name in France. He was the leader of a worldwide nourishment realm and known as the "pope" of cooking in his nation of origin.

The café's loss of a profoundly desired third star has stunned France and drawn perplexity and shock from nourishment pundits around the globe.

Nourishment pundit Périco Légasse called it "a ridiculous and out of line choice".

"Michelin can't be so idiotic," he said on radio broadcast FranceInfo, contending that pundits concurred the nature of nourishment had improved since Bocuse's passing.

"Today its dishonour is all out, the establishment is dead," he said of the Michelin Guide.

This is the latest debate encompassing the Michelin Guide, which has put forth attempts as of late to fight off analysis that is one-sided towards French cooking and exaggerates formal feasting.

In December, French gourmet specialist Marc Veyrat lost his legal dispute against the guide after it stripped him of a Michelin star.

Bocuse kicked the bucket in a room over the eatery on 20 January 2018.

Around 1,000 individuals went to his burial service, with more grievers viewing the function on large screens set up outside the church building. French President Emmanuel Macron at the time depicted him as the "manifestation of French cooking".

"Albeit furious about the examiners' judgment, there is one thing that we never need to lose, it is the spirit of Mr Paul," the eatery and Bocuse's family said in an announcement.

"From Collonges and the base of our souls, we will keep on breathing life into the Sacred Fire with dauntlessness, energy, greatness and a specific type of opportunity."
