Constance Hotels & Resorts invites guests on a culinary odyssey to immerse in a realm where flavours tantalise the taste buds. Each morsel narrates a tale allowing patrons to experience the unspoiled shores of Mauritius, where the air carries the fragrance of freshly prepared delicacies and the symphony of laughter blends with the gentle rhythm of waves.
From March 9th to 16th, 2024, Constance Belle Mare Plage and Constance Prince Maurice will burst into life with the sights, sounds, and tastes of the Constance Festival Culinaire. A celebration of culinary excellence, this gastronomic fiesta guarantees a week of unmatched indulgence and culinary ingenuity. Experience wandering through bustling food dishes, brimming with the vivid hues of fresh produce sourced from the fertile lands of Mauritius, Seychelles, Maldives, and Madagascar. Guests can feel the warmth of the sun as they sip on the finest drinks, a delightful accompaniment that complements the rich flavours of the festival.
Yet, the festival’s allure transcends the shoreline. Venture into the heart of the kitchen, where six European chefs boasting one Michelin star will vie against six “Constance Chefs” from Mauritius, the Maldives, and Seychelles in a gripping competition for four coveted trophies: the Deutz Trophy, Régis Marcon Trophy, Pierre Hermé Trophy, and Art of the Table Trophy. Witness culinary giants collide, pushing the boundaries of gastronomic brilliance and redefining the essence of fine dining.
However, the true enchantment of the festival lies not only in the creations of professional chefs but in the communal revelry of food enthusiasts from across the globe. Join fellow epicureans in sampling delicacies of the festival, from decadent pastries sculpted by masterful hands to the enticing innovations of emerging culinary talents.
The culinary voyage extends beyond the festival across all Indian Ocean islands as each of the group’s properties, scattered across Mauritius, Rodrigues, Seychelles, Maldives and Madagascar, celebrates culinary artistry in its own distinctive manner, drawing inspiration from the abundant offerings of their respective locales. From the pristine beaches to the verdant tropical landscapes, Constance Hotels &Resorts takes pride in sourcing the freshest seasonal fruits and vegetables, predominantly from local sources to curate unforgettable dining experiences for their patrons.
Coconut water, a quintessential island elixir, pervades all properties, providing invigorating hydration infused with tropical essence. Similarly, lemongrass, a frequent addition to beverages, imparts a tangy zest while boasting myriad health benefits.
The islands’ profusion of fruits finds expression in fresh juices, jams, and sorbets, infusing breakfast spreads with vibrant hues and flavours.
For aficionados of seafood, Constance Hotels &Resorts presents a cornucopia of delights from the Indian Ocean’s depths. From succulent oysters to tender bourgeois fish and exquisite lobsters, guests can luxuriate in the ocean’s bounty expertly prepared by the group’s skilled chefs.
Whether a seasoned epicurean or an adventurous newcomer, Constance Hotels &Resorts invites guests to savour the diverse tastes that span the globe. Embarking on a culinary journey that celebrates the rich and tantalizing flavours from every corner of the world.
