It was a very beautiful edition. The week was remarkable with all the dinners that were of an incredible level. With the satisfaction of being able to discover the passion of each chef through their cuisine Mauritians, customers who have come this week in hotels Constance, all lovers of gourmet cuisine in this part of the world. And also to all who followed the FCBL on the networks. The level of all competitions was also remarkable thanks to the investment of those who participated. For the cooking contest, we had a great meal thanks to the superb OSO shrimps from Madagascar and the Iberian pork. Congratulations to all the pairs who have been of a remarkable level.

The highlights have already been the communion between the pairs of the cooking contest, but also the dinners orchestrated by the chefs throughout the week. The discovery of Mauritian products at the market in Flacq, and lunch at "Chassé" around the traditional Mauritian cuisine made by figures of the island.
