Change language:
Hungary won the special prize for the best platter and qualified for the 2025 Bocuse d’Or World Final to be held in Lyon.
On 19-20 March, the European Bocuse d’Or finals were held in Trondheim, Norway. The top nine places qualified for the final in Lyon early next year. The Hungarian team won in one of the themes.
On the one hand, their 6th place secured their spot in the final of the world’s most prestigious cooking competition, which will take place in January 2025, and on the other hand, they were awarded the special prize for the best platter,
The Hungarian Bocuse d’Or team:
The Hungarian team was headed by Roland Kelemen, Deputy Chef of Hunguest Sóstó. His commis was Noel Fodor from Siófok, who joined the team from his family restaurant. The coach was László Szabó from Hungast, and the team president (and tasting jury) was Bence Dalnoki, sous chef of the two Michelin-starred Stand Restaurant, according to Dining Guide.
Cool, congrats and I wish great success in the finals. Hungarian cooking is amazingly tasty when its not oversalted. These chefs must have done an amazing job with those ingredients, codd and scallops- you don’t find those in an average Hungarian kitchen.
