François Simon (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃swa simɔ̃]; born 1953) is a French author and a food critic,[1] rumored in French press to have been the model for Anton Ego, the food critic in the 2007 animated film Ratatouille[2] (though denied by the film's director, Brad Bird).[3] He spent most of his career writing for French daily Le Figaro, which he left at the beginning of 2014.[4]

He appears in a 2016 episode of the Netflix documentary series Chef's Table, discussing the cuisine of Adeline Grattard, chef at the restaurant Yam'Tcha in Paris.[5]
