This café got a Michelin Star
by mistake. Owner of Le Bouche A Oreille, Bourges – Veronique Jacquet says, It
goes without saying, we were laughing a lot. For us it was really joke, because
it was really impossible for me to get a star in the Michelin Guide, because I
have a small and casual restaurant open from Monday to Friday, so nothing to do
with gourmet restaurant. Between the telephone calls, the media, I was shaken,
completely lost. Her restaurant in Bourges, France, got mixed up with a
restaurant in Boutervilliers, since them both have the same name and even a
similar street name, although they are 93 miles away from each others.
A customer – Eric Norguet
says, this is all homemade cuisine that of course has nothing to do with
Michelin started cuisine but it is still a good place to keep in mind. Another
customer – Louis Sevilianno says the restaurant is good. But honestly I don’t
think it deserve a star.
Meanwhile, the chef at the
rightful Michelin Star winning restaurant wondered if he would get to keep his
Michelin star from yet another year. The chef at Le Bouche A Oreille
Boutervilliers – Aymeric Dreux says there was a small computer mistake, nothing
bad. Because honestly, considering all the publicity we got, it is rather nice.
The Michelin Guide called both
owners to apologize for the mixed up and Druex even invited Jacquet to his
restaurant for a Michelin Star Dinner. Veronique Jacquet – Owner of Le Bouche A
Oreille, Bourges says, I thanked them Michelin Guide because thanks to them I
became a start, so to stay, with my shooting star.
