Veyrat has obtained a total of nine Michelin Stars, and is the first cook to get the perfect grade of 20/20 in the Gault-Millau guide, for each of his two first restaurants. He was the owner of the restaurants La Maison de Marc Veyrat (or l'Auberge de l'Eridan) in Veyrier-du-Lac and la Ferme de mon Père in Megève.
- He currently operates the restaurant La Maison des Bois in Manigod.
- All three restaurants obtained three stars.
- In 2019, Veyrat was awarded two Michelin Stars for La Maison des Bois, and is suing Michelin saying that the lose of one star was a miscommunication.
- On 24 February 2009, he announced that he would cease all of his activities at la Maison de Marc Veyrat due to his declining health.
- The hotel is currently being run by his children. He started a chain of organic "fast-food" restaurants all over France called la Cozna Vera.
- The first one opened in Annecy in 2008 and was later closed in 2010.
- He has plans to build other restaurants in Épagny, Brussels, and Paris. His work was featured on the Discovery Channel's Discovery Atlas:France Revealed. In December 2015, Veyrat was fined €100,000 by a French court after illegally cutting down 7,000 sq metres of protected forest near one of his restaurants.
