Constance Festival Culinaire 2024: A Foodie's Paradise In Mauritius - Great British Chefs

Game faces may have been on during the daytimes, but evenings at the festival saw the chefs collaborate in a different way altogether, as they donned their whites to cook a series of multi-hand dinners for guests and festival attendees. The most poignant of these was a tribute dinner hosted in memory of former festival participant and Bocuse d’Or winner Serge Vieira, where a pigeon main course was prepared by Régis Marcon himself (one of Vieira’s early mentors) and Pierre Hermé offered a truly remarkable take on a baba for dessert, served alongside Mauritius’ own vanilla rum. Nordic fare was then out in force the following night at another dinner, this time prepared by Ørjan Johannessen (Bocuse d’Or 2015), Michelin starred Christopher Haatuft, and Sebastian Gibrand (Bocuse d’Argent 2019), as the likes of veal fllet and scallops were given discrete tropical spins.
