Gault&Millau in Australia
Gault&Millau is set to launch its first Australian guide this November. The international guide allows Australian chefs be judged on the same scale as the best in Europe. The reviewers place more of a focus on the chefs and their food and less on ambience, décor, location and etiquette than other restaurant guides.
