Heritage Resorts & Golf in Mauritius has unveiled an exciting culinary programme for 2024, that includes special gastronomic interludes by several Michelin Star chefs across the year, as well as its third annual Sustainable Culinary Week.

Eleven Michelin Starred chefs, including the likes of French chefs Thibault Sombardier, Björn Freitag, Frederic Van Tricht and Camille Saint M'Leux will craft unique gourmet experiences at the resort's restaurants by utilising locally sourced delicacies from the Indian Ocean's land and sea.

The menus are set to emphasize Heritage Resorts' sustainable and zero-waste cooking philosophies, and highlight produce and ingredients from local farms in every dish. This initiative enables guests to plan and maximise their stay in Mauritius, taking full advantage of the exceptional culinary moments offered by Heritage Resorts & Golf, as well as reinforcing the group's reputation as a premier gourmet destination.

Wine enthusiasts can also look forward to wine pairing dinners in April at Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort with Thibault Sombardier (one Michelin star), along with wines from Dorrance Winery in South Africa and Maison de Montille from France.

Hugo Riboulet, the winner of Top Chef 2023, will host a dinner at Heritage Le Telfair Golf & Wellness Resort in early May.

Furthermore, in August, Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort will welcome Europe's finest cheese maker, Belgian Frederic Van Tricht, for an exceptional wine and cheese pairing.

All in all, it promises to be a feast for the taste buds!

The full list of events and chefs in attendance throughout the rest of the year is as follows:

Commenting on the 2024 Culinary Calendar, Raoul Maurel, Chief Operations Officer of Heritage Resorts & Golf says: “The Heritage Resorts & Golf 2024 Culinary Calendar embodies our commitment to offering our guests an unrivalled culinary experience, combining innovation, tradition and excellence. Each rendezvous, carefully orchestrated by renowned Michelin-starred chefs, promises a symphony of flavours that will awaken the senses and create unforgettable memories for our guests.”

Additionally, Heritage Resorts & Golf will host its third annual Sustainable Culinary Week on 5th – 15th October. This year, Chef Thibaut Spiwack will be the special guest. With one Michelin star and one green star, Thibaut Spiwack will chair the jury and bring his creative, daring, and responsible touch to the competition, all characteristics found in his cuisine at his Parisian restaurant - Anona.

In 2023, Thomas Collomb, head of an outstanding table d'hôtes in Gevrey-Chambertin, France, was the patron of the 2023 edition at Heritage Resorts.

The extraordinary event allows guests to discover a variety of menus made from 100% fresh and seasonal local products through cooking demonstrations, gala dinners and a Michelin Star Gala Night.

This unique taste experience promises a sensory journey rich in flavours and emotions, while respecting the ethical and sustainable values of responsible cuisine.

As Heritage Resorts & Golf continues to embark towards a sustainable future, they will showcase their latest eco-conscious initiatives; with a focus on innovative waste management, conservation efforts, and promoting local and organic produce. A series of measures are in force in their kitchens and restaurants.

Both are located in Bel Ombre in southern Mauritius on a 2,500 hectare domain that incorporates a beautiful 19th century Chateau where many of the gastronomic events take place, a UNESCO Biosphere nature reserve, two 18-hole golf courses and a trendy Beach Club.
