Well, it's listed in the 2005 guide as one fork and knife and a smiley faced Bibendum.

Well, it seems that Michelin has changed their formula for what a star means. In no way does Pic rate three stars when compared to some other France three-star places. And a reader from Tokyo, Montreal, or Sydney will be all the more confused by the Guide Rouge if he tries to compare what he reads within to that of other guides that seem, now, much more rational.

Violon and Fables are now both one star? Interesting.

Also of interest in the Michelin Press release are the New smiley face Bibendums in Paris that include several places eGullet members have commented on favorably, including: Fish, Spring, Les Anges, Chez Cecile Ferme des Mathurins, Auberge Pyrenees Cevennes, Le Temps Au Temps + Thierry Burlot.

Nobody has commented on the most significant three-star award of all: that to L'Astrance as the first three-star shoestring restaurant. That in itself should be enought to tell you that the solidity and exactitude that used to be part and parcel of Michelin's highest rating has been totally demolished. It wasn't really all that long ago that truly great restaurants--those where pleasing the gastronome was the way of life, not dictating to him by tying his hands-made up the constellation of three stars: Chapel, Troisgros, Guerard, Robuchon pre 1996, Peyrot, Verget, Oustau de Baumaniere,etc. Michelin should be awarding fewer three stars as a way to make some of these chefs think twice instead of encouraging them to take shortcuts and put greed above gastronomy.

FWIW I've only eaten once at Pic - in 2005 - and on the evidence of that I'm pretty surprised at the three star rating

I’ve been meaning to comment on the new English Michelin Red Guides, so this represents the opportunity. A few month’s ago, I bought the one for Paris and it is expanded, more colorful (verbally and photographically) and worth the price of admission but today, as I was attending/assisting at Clotilde Dusoulier’s book signing/talk at Brentano’s of Chocolate and Zucchini, I snuck a look at the English language France Guide and it’s not at all different from the French version, except translated accurately into English, assuredly by one of our eG members, so I won’t say it was literal, wooden and unlively. PS I did not purchase it.
