Executive Chef Philippe Labbé is ending 2012 on a high note, for this week he was named “Cuisinier of the Year” by Gault & Millau. This honour follows the unanimously enthusiastic public acclaim for the three restaurants at Shangri-La Hotel, Paris: the gastronomic restaurant L’Abeille now has five toques, while Shang Palace, exclusively dedicated to Cantonese-influenced Chinese cooking, has three toques. Established over 40 years ago, the Gault & Millau brand was created by Henri Gault and Christian Millau, two journalists who were passionate about culinary creativity, vision and quality – in fact, they invented the concept of nouvelle cuisine, which dominated the 1980s and changed the way the world looked at gastronomy. Acquired by Otium Capital in 2009, the Gault & Millau brand continues to champion exceptional creativity and its publications and products – a magazine, travel guides, tours and online platforms – remain among the most recognised and highly respected in the French gastronomy and travel categories.

Philippe Labbé, Executive Chef at Shangri-La Hotel, Paris is an alumnus of Lycée Hôtelier Alexandre Dumas | Strasbourg Illkirch .
