The thrice-bankrupt Auberge du Vieux Puits has now been awarded the title of 'world's best fine-dining restaurant' by TripAdvisor and Newsflash has spoken to owner and three-Michelin-star chef Gilles Goujon in an exclusive interview. The fine-dining maestro spilled the beans on his truffled egg infusion signature dish, and on how his father's untimely death drove him to become one of the greatest chefs in the world, transforming an unassuming provincial inn from bankrupt eatery into a household name in the international gourmet scene. He has also come up with a "COVID-19 menu" people can take home and eat, literally. In late July, Mr Goujon's tireless efforts an innovative spirit earned him an unexpected recognition: Tripadvisor's 2020 Travellers' Choice Award as the world's best place to eat fine food. The popular American travel and dining ranking website's annual Travellers' Choice Awards are based not on expert opinions, but on the feedback from thousands of eating customers. With the award, Auberge du Vieux Puits follows in the footsteps of a long list of world-renowned restaurants, such as The Black Swan at Oldstead, in the UK, which took home the fine-dining award in 2017 and was named best restaurant in the UK this year.
