The GAYOT.com website serves as a serious, honest and professional resource on dining and travel for an international readership in search of the best.

André Gayot and a guide bonefishing in the Bahamas

André Gayot—who with his friends Henri Gault and Christian Millau coined and promoted the term "Nouvelle Cuisine" in the early '70s—has been directing sophisticated travelers to the world's best restaurants, hotels, shops, sightseeing and cultural attractions for more than 45 years. His expertise provided a foundation for Gayot guides in the United States, beginning in 1981.

Alain Gayot ready to take flight

Alain Gayot, André's son, participated in the launch of the American guide book series and began researching ways to distribute the content electronically, initially with Minitel technology in the early '90s, later with partners of the Prodigy network, and finally on the web with AOL and other media companies.

GAYOT.com launched in 2002 with rated restaurant reviews and the addition of Sophie Gayot, André's daughter, to the management team. Sophie has developed the public relations aspects of the site. She is always traveling between Paris and Los Angeles. She has also been featured on many entertainment broadcasts, most recently serving as a guest judge on Fox's Hell's Kitchen on May 20, 2008. She often appears on "The Business Hour" with Frank Mottek on Los Angeles radio KNX 1070 AM, or on Jamie Gwen radio show, talking about her latest discoveries in the City of Angels or City of Lights.

Today, Gayot's scope has expanded to include hotels, wine, spas, movies, automobiles, cookbooks, fashion, aviation and contemporary culture. From far-flung luxury resorts to sleek sports cars, GAYOT.com provides timeless coverage while keeping pace with the latest trends. Written by a team of savvy restaurant critics and food, travel and lifestyle experts, Gayot reviews are informative, honest and witty. Above all, they tell it like it is!
