Relais & Châteaux

This week, Paul Marcon has won the international Bocuse d'Or final, thirty years after his father. The prestigious distinction was awarded to chef Marcon in Lyon on January 27, during the twentieth edition of the World Cuisine Competition created in 1987 by chef Paul Bocuse. Thirty years after his father, Régis Marcon, and twenty years after the late Serge Vieira, Paul Marcon has added his name to the list of winners of this competition, which brought together 24 international teams in two events: the plate and the platter. The chef was able to convince the jury by highlighting the gastronomic heritage of his region through a plate combining green apple and Chartreuse with the imposed products (celery, lean and lobster). As for the platter theme, Paul was able to make a nod to his origins by cooking the mushrooms in all the preparations. France completed a double by also winning the Best Commis Award, thanks to Camille Pigot. Paul Marcon works alongside his father and brother at the “Régis et Jacques Marcon” Les Maisons Marcon restaurant, a member of Relais & Châteaux and awarded three stars and a green star in the Michelin guide. Relais & Châteaux extends its sincere congratulations to the winner and salutes France's influence on the international gastronomic scene. #RelaisChateaux Photos: ©Nicolas Rodet, ©Nicolas Reynaud, ©Christophe Pouget, ©Julien Bouvier
