Guy Savoy

Guy Savoy is an internationally recognized French chef, celebrated for his acclaimed restaurants and significant contributions to French gastronomy. After opening his eponymous Parisian restaurant in 1980, Guy Savoy quickly garnered critical acclaim, receiving two Michelin stars by 1985. This success followed his initial venture with a restaurant in New York City in 1977 and a formative three-year apprenticeship with the renowned Troisgros brothers. Savoy’s Parisian flagship solidified its elite status by earning its third Michelin star in 2002, a prestigious recognition it proudly maintained for two decades, establishing his distinctive haute cuisine globally.

Building on his Parisian success, Savoy expanded his international footprint by opening Restaurant Guy Savoy in Las Vegas in May 2006, located within Caesars Palace. This acclaimed Las Vegas outpost received significant recognition, including two Michelin stars (2008-2009), the AAA Five Diamond Award, and the Forbes Five Star Award. His influence extended into media, with Savoy recording the voice for sous-chef Horst in the French version of Pixar’s critically acclaimed ‘Ratatouille’ (2007). In recognition of his contributions to French culture, he was awarded the Legion of Honour medal in 2008.

In 2018, Savoy was further honored with the Prix du Rayonnement Gastronomique Français. While his Parisian restaurant transitioned to two Michelin stars in 2023, its sustained excellence and innovative spirit maintain its position as a global culinary benchmark. Beyond his kitchens, Savoy’s profound influence on French gastronomy is evident through his active role on the board of directors for the French Mission for Food Culture & Heritage, an organization instrumental in securing UNESCO recognition for the ‘gastronomic meal of the French.’ He has also leveraged his expertise to develop tableware lines and partner with various brands, further extending his distinctive culinary style and commitment to quality across the food industry.
