Gault Millau restaurant guide:
-------------------------------

Gault & Millau judges according to the French school grading system from 0 to 20 points.

The highest score of 20 should not be awarded in Austria - in keeping with the spirit of the founders of Gault & Millau - because only the good Lord, but no human being, can determine perfection.

The grades awarded exclusively recognise the culinary achievements.
(The service, ambience and wine culture of the restaurant are described).

Gault & Millau wants to promote good cuisine - by encouraging chefs to do their job better and better and encouraging guests to demand ever higher standards. This is the only way to achieve culinary progress.

Gault & Millau does not favour any particular style of cooking; it does not matter whether someone cooks classic, modern or regional, cross-cultural, vegetarian or exotic cuisine. Within this basic framework, it favours creative chefs over copyists and simple but honest chefs over showmasters.

What is a MICHELIN star?
------------------------

The MICHELIN star is an award given for outstanding cuisine. The best product quality, the chefs' expertise, the originality of the dishes and, just as importantly, consistency both over time and across the entire menu are expected.

Falstaff
--------

Falstaff testers note their impression of a restaurant with a maximum of four forks and 100 points; 50 for the food, 20 for the service, 20 for the wine list, 10 for the ambience.
