For anyone who swears by their Michelin Red Guide when dining in Paris, this is noteworthy news.  There have been promotions to 3 stars, and demotions to 2 and 1 stars among Paris’s finest restaurants.  Here’s the scoop:

New three-stars:
L’Astrance, Pascal Barbot and Christophe Rohat
Le Meurice, Yannick Alléno
Le Pré Catelan, Frédéric Anton
Pic, Anne Sophie Pic
Hélène Darroze, Hélène Darroze
Lameloise, Jacques Lameloise (regained the third star they lost few years ago)

Demoted to 2 Stars:
Le Beurehiesel (The chef Antoine Westermann has stepped down and his son took over the kitchen.)
Le Cinq, Philippe Legendre
Le Taillevent (Previously thought to be untouchable, but I guess Michelin is on a mission to prove nothing is.)
La Ferme de mon père (Marc Veyrat sold the restaurant)
