The 2025 Bocuse d’Or Final took place on January 26–27, 2025, in Lyon, where chefs from around the world presented two elaborate dishes under tight time constraints: a “platter” course and a plated plate.After intense judging, Chef Paul Marcon (France) and his commis Camille Pigot were crowned the winners of the 2025 edition.
Often referred to as the “Olympics of gastronomy,” the Bocuse d’Or demands technical mastery, creativity, and teamwork. Competitors have only 5½ hours to execute their vision in front of a live audience and a distinguished jury.

Taking part in (or winning) the Bocuse d’Or is a career‑defining moment. It offers unmatched international prestige, visibility, and recognition in the culinary world. The event also helps foster a global community of chefs committed to craftsmanship, creativity, and culinary excellence.
