Affairs and International Development in France. It aims to honor excellent quality and
creativity as well as the values of authentic high-class French cuisine

In
2015’s competition the focus was on honoring "French menu”, whilst in

French cuisine. This is a cuisine full of fresh ingredients, harvested in
