Since time immemorial, hunger has been the driving force of humanity. This driving force must be nourished, and well nourished at that, in order to enhance our bodies and minds. Our civilisation started with food and it continues to develop with food.

We are pleased to offer you this 2006 directory, which is the best tool for discovering or revisiting all the members of the Associations des Maitres Cuisiniers de France. These members work throughout the country and throughout the world, devoting their time and energy to promoting our regional home-grown products and retaining our culinary traditions with a modern twist, for your pleasure and enjoyment.

A certain code of ethics must of course be respected... when you step foot in the establishment of an Association member, you will enjoy a personal welcome, pleasant and comfortable surroundings, creative cuisine of an excellent standard which respects the products used, as well as attentive service. Maitre Cuisinier de France is a guarantee of quality, a true quality label. I highly recommend that you let yourself be tempted as you peruse
the pages of the 2006 guide.

This guide tells you all that you need to know when visiting the
establishment of a Maitre Cuisinier de France.

Enjoy!
