French roadside cafe accidentally awarded Michelin star

Posted by: admin , February 21, 2017

A roadside cafe in France was inundated with customers after it was confused with an upscale restaurant and accidentally awarded a Michelin star!
Le Bouche à Oreille (which means word of mouth) in Bourges central France, was included on a map of starred restaurants published by Michelin on February 9.
The cafe is a lunch only bistro serviced by a part-time chef and the owner, Véronique Jacquet who runs between the bar and tables, with meals (including a jug of wine!) costing about €12.50.
However, the star was meant to go an upscale restaurant of the same name in Boutervilliers, southwest of Paris, with the streets being similarly named as well!
The error has been taken in good spirits, with the restaurant owners inviting each other over to try their specialties
