THE CONCEPT
Like the art of service, the “art of the table” is a practice spanning centuries. This art took shape during the Middle Ages, becoming a true mark of respect for distinguished guests among certain cultures.
To this day, the practice remains an essential part of the culinary world, completely inseparable from the pleasures of gastronomy and oenology. We may not realise it as much today given the customary status of the art, but it requires an in-depth understanding of dishes, beverages, hotel provisions, and glass and tableware.
The quality of a meal also depends on good service, however delicious it may be.
Thus the art of the table becomes an integral element, a must for the success of a gourmet meal worthy of its name.
This year, Constance Prince Maurice will host the “Service and Art of the table” competition, promising an event rich in tradition and emotion.
Presentation, service, speech, dress and reception will all be carefully judged throughout the competition.
European service criteria will be at the fore, applied by the best Mauritian waiters and Chefs de rang. The atmosphere is guaranteed to be tense and demanding, but passion and sharing will also be the order of the day.
