A competition recognizing excellence among hospitality and culinary students

The Marcel Le Servot Trophy honors an exceptional chef. Marcel Le Servot served as head chef at the Élysée Palace from 1968 to 1984. Today, the competition bears his name and embodies his values. It welcomes students pursuing the BAC PRO and BTS programs at hospitality high schools in metropolitan France. Each year, it showcases the creativity, expertise, and dedication of the next generation.

These values are also those of Matfer Bourgeat. Culinary excellence, passing on the craft, and a passion for French gastronomy: these are all convictions we share. Thus, partnering with the 2026 Marcel Le Servot Trophy means making a concrete investment in the future of the culinary arts.
