Teaming up with his father Michel in the family business established by his grandmother, herself an esteemed chef, the Lorain’s culinary efforts had been justly rewarded with the restaurant’s first two coveted Michelin stars being awarded to Michel in 1971 and 1976 with a third following in 1986 for the perfectly matched father and son team of Michel and Jean-Michel.
