German term

16-Punkte-Küche

German to English Marketing Cooking / Culinary Hotel brochure
Hi everybody, happy 2009 to y'all!

I could use some help here. The complete sentence is:
"Das beste 4-Sterne-Winterhotel ist familiär und gemütlich, hat Wärme und Komfort, eine 16-Punkte-Küche und die schönste Aussicht am Ort."

The 16 points are awarded by the Gault Millau guide. While this seems implied in the German text, I'm not sure if it's as self-evident in English.
I found no Google hits for "16-point kitchen", only one for "16-point cuisine", and yet another one for "16-point restaurant".

My best try so far -since I also want to keep it nice and short- is "a 16-Gault Millau point (carrying) restaurant".
Does anybody know a better option?

Thanks in advance!

Derived from Nesrin's quoted site, how about this:
"its cuisine gained (or was awarded) 16 Gault-Millau points. ..." [add (out of 20) if you wish].

But don't use "awarded *with*", and note they are both Swiss sites...
David Moore (X) Jan 3, 2009:
Thanks, Nesrin, and a Happy New Year; but then they convert these "points" to "chefs' hats", don't they... even so, TVM!
Nesrin Jan 2, 2009:
@ David: "Gault Millau is most famous for its rating system, on a scale of 1 to 20. Restaurants below 10 points are basically never listed" http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Gault-Millau
David Moore (X) Jan 2, 2009:
Are you absolutely, totally positive that Gault Millau has awarded no less than SIXTEEN points??? That seem totally impossible to me; their standards are said to be even higher than Michelin, and I don't think they'd go anywhere near that high...

rated 16/20 by the Gault-Millau guide

It's the restaurant that receives the rating. I would say something like "restaurant with a Gault-Millau rating of 16/20" or "restaurant rated 16/20 by the G-M guide".

agree jccantrell : I might go with 'cuisine' as the GM guide just rates the food (or, it did). For us poor Merkins who have never heard of it, you might go with "awarded 16 points in the GM guide" or some such phrasing.

Thank you :)) You're right - they just award points for the quality of the "Küche", not the service or equipment, so cuisine seems to fit better.
agree Lonnie Legg : with 'cuisine'

agree Cecelia Murphy : agree with cuisine. I think someone should post it as a separate answer but I'm not going to because it would seem unfair.

disagree David Moore (X) : Sorry, Andrea, but awarded "with" is wrong. "Rewarded with" would be correct, but not the best use here.
