Overview

• Quentin Mauro edged out Charlie Anne with 52.65% of the judges’ vote to claim the season 16 title.
• He received €52,650 and immediately launched a pop-up restaurant aboard the Port Van Gogh péniche in Asnières-sur-Seine.
• Despite strong praise for his six-course tasting menu, Michelin inspectors withheld a star over inconsistent execution.
• The revamped finale brought together 34 Michelin-starred chefs, Meilleurs Ouvriers de France and anonymous Michelin Guide inspectors in a split-session cook-off.
• Mauro plans to use his pop-up residency to refine his menu and bolster his bid for an official Michelin star.
