What to expect in this edition & The highlights
Saturday 12th
Like every edition, the 15th edition will also start with the very much anticipated, Drawing lot.
The drawing lot exercise is key to begin the festival as it will draw the teams. There will be three teams and each team will consist of 1 Constance Chef and 1 Michelin Star Chef.
Somehow, this edition is quite special though, as it will regroup winners from the past editions!

What is Constance Festival Culinaire without the culturally immersive experiences?
Rendez-vous at Le Chasee de Constance Belle Mare Plage, where the Gateau Piment competition will also take place!
Monday 14th
One of the prerequisites of the innovative delightful dishes for the culinary competition is the use of Roche Cari to prepare the spice paste. A core part of the Mauritian identity, Roche Cari (the traditional Mortar and pestle) is also essential in Constance Festival Culinaire.
As such, this year we are introducing a Roche Cari masterclass!
Tuesday 15th
A new addition this year: Sweet Tapas competition by Constance!
The selected Constance Pastry Chefs will be challenged to create sweet tapas with a pre-selected type of coffee, Nespresso “Origin Peru Organic”
