The organizers of the world famous competition of the top of international gastronomy – Bocuse d’Or – and the Hotel & Restaurant Division of Villeroy & Boch gathered recently for an official meeting as part of the 2016/2017 cycle. At Castle Saareck at the headquarters of Villeroy & Boch in Mettlach, Germany, details of the collaboration for the current competition were discussed.

For many years, Villeroy & Boch has provided the official competition tableware, which this year comes from the new ARTESANO Professionale collection. The impressively designed, round plates offer chefs plenty of space to present their creations with sophistication, thanks to their size and simple, yet surprising design. Flatware from the Villeroy & Boch series OSCAR and glasses from the series PURISMO complete the table setting.

The big finale of the competition will take place on January 24th and 25th, 2017 in Lyon during the Sirha trade show. The regional elimination round for Europe, the Asia-Pacific and Latin American will take place in 2016. Villeroy & Boch was already present at the national elimination round this year in France and Belgium, for example.
