The organizers of the festival came to Estonia at the beginning of December and shared gastronomic events in which CAdFE took part as a partner: on December 5, a tasting of niche products including wine, spirits and delicatessen brands, and to orchestrate the tasting among some twenty professionals – chefs, sommeliers, bartenders and importers – and influencers met at the Residence of the French Embassy in Tallinn.
The following day, an exceptional gala dinner of Franco-Estonian flavors was held in Tartu at the Lydia Hotel restaurant.
Chef Sven Pärn of Tartu’s Hõlm restaurant and his team collaborated with the French chef Meilleur Ouvrier de France Primeur, Frédéric Jaunault.
The chefs were faced with a double challenge: to create a successful dinner using ingredients available in the Nordic winter, and to do so for 70 guests, including three outstanding colleagues representing their respective chef communities.
This included the Bocuse d’Or presidents of Latvia and Lithuania, as well as the president of the Estonian Association of Chefs.
The event took place at Restaurant Hõlm.
