France’s Michel Troisgros, whose Maison Troisgros runs three restaurants northwest of Lyon, was voted the world’s top chef in a show of hands by colleagues organized by professional magazine Le Chef and unveiled Sunday.
Troisgros beat out Yannick Alleno of Alleno Paris at the Pavillon Ledoyen and Joan Roca of El Celler de Can Roca in the 2018 ranking, based on a survey of the 582 chefs across the world who hold two or three stars in the Michelin Guide.
