Guy Savoy

Guy Patrice Savoy (French: [ɡi savwa]; born 24 July 1953) is a French chef who is the head chef and owner of the eponymous Restaurant Guy Savoy in Paris, France, and its sister restaurant in Las Vegas, U.S., both of which have earned multiple Michelin stars. He owns three other restaurants in Paris.

Guy Savoy was born on 24 July 1953 in Nevers. In 1955, his parents moved to Bourgoin-Jallieu, a town in Isère, where his father was a gardener and his mother owned a taproom that she would transform into a restaurant. At the age of 16, he began his career as a chocolatier with Louis Marchand in Bourgoin-Jallieu. After a three-year apprenticeship with the Troisgros brothers in Roanne and multiple experiences at prestigious restaurants such as Lasserre, he opened his own restaurant in New York[citation needed] before opening in rue Duret, Paris, in 1980, which received two Michelin stars in 1985. Savoy earned his third Michelin star in 2002. From 2017-2026, La Liste named Restaurant Guy Savoy, the Best Restaurant in the World.

Gordon Ramsay was trained under Guy Savoy, and has described him as his culinary mentor.

Savoy opened Restaurant Guy Savoy in Paris in 1980.

Savoy opened the Las Vegas establishment in May 2006 at the Augustus tower of the Caesars Palace then followed by two breakfast take-away bars, Brioche in 2016 at Caesars and then in 2021 at Paris Las Vegas. He opened a restaurant at Porto Arabia, Pearl Qatar in 2012 which closed two years later.

Savoy recorded the voice of sous-chef Horst for the French version of the Pixar animated film Ratatouille, released in August 2007.

Savoy is on the board of directors of the French Mission for Food Culture & Heritage (Mission Française du Patrimoine et des Cultures Alimentaires), which successfully applied for inscription of the "gastronomic meal of the French" on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

In 2017 and 2018, Savoy was a member of the Prix Versailles World Judges Panel.
