Nov. 17 (Bloomberg) -- The Michelin Guide today raised one
Swiss restaurant to two-star status and awarded eight more a
single star, ensuring Switzerland keeps its rank as the country
with the highest number of stars per capita in 2010.
The new two-star eatery is Anne-Sophie Pic in the Beau-
Rivage Palace in Lausanne. Pic, who comes from a family of
chefs, is the only French woman chef to have received three
stars, for her Maison Pic in Valence, France.
New one-star restaurants include Le Chat Botte and
Vertig’O, both in hotels in Geneva, and Sankt Meinrad and Sein
in Zurich. Michelin also awarded the first star to an Indian
restaurant in Switzerland: Rasoi by Vineet in Geneva’s Mandarin
Oriental hotel. Seven restaurants lost stars.
Switzerland’s two three-star restaurants kept their
ranking: Philippe Rochat in Crissier, Canton Vaud, and Le Pont
de Brent in Montreux, also in Canton Vaud. Michelin said it may
also upgrade Schauenstein, a two-star restaurant in Fuerstenau
in the canton of Graubuenden, “once it has demonstrated greater
consistency over time and across the entire menu.”
Under the Michelin ranking system, one star means a very
good restaurant in its category, two means excellent and worth a
detour and three stars means among the very best restaurants and
worth a special journey.
Michelin & Cie., the world’s biggest tiremaker, is based in
Clermont-Ferrand, France, and has been publishing dining guides
for more than a century.
The 520-page Michelin Guide Switzerland 2010 goes on sale
on Nov. 19.
