About the Bocuse d‘Or

In January 1987, Paul Bocuse created the Bocuse d’Or, a revolutionary gastronomy contest. Replicating the codes of major sporting events. He imagined a true show placing the emphasis on cooking and on the chefs.

The idea: bring together 24 young chefs from all over the world, among the most promising talents of their generation, and have them prepare superb dishes within 5 hours 35 minutes, live in front of an enthusiastic audience.

To tell them apart, a jury composed of the most illustrious chefs of the planet. Beyond a mere cooking contest, the Bocuse d’Or is a show that draws extraordinary media coverage. Many talented chefs have made a name for themselves thanks to the contest whilst promoting the culinary heritage of their country.

The next Bocuse d’Or grand finale will take place in January 2021 in Lyon, during Sirha 2021 Trade Show.
