‘This is an ideal way for me to break with the past,’ Bruno Chemel says

After a dozen years in business, Bruno Chemel is giving his high-end Palo Alto restaurant a makeover — from the name, to the menu, to the pricing, to the dining room decor.

The emphasis will remain on creative gastronomic cooking techniques using local, seasonal ingredients, but in a more affordable style — $168 for six courses, compared with previous prix fixe menus of $300 to $400. Baumé earned a Michelin star its first year in existence, then was elevated to two stars. For the next several years, Baumé became what was believed to be the world’s only two-person staff to hold two Michelin stars.

Chemel quickly issued a tart response to Michelin: “The erratic, corporate focus and fixations of the Guide have been a distraction for years, creating no value for restaurateurs or diners,” he said in a statement. “I finally feel free to enjoy cooking just for the happiness of my guests. Instead of following the status quo, I can follow my own vision and listen to the customer’s feedback, not the Michelin guidelines.
