The story

Constance Festival Culinaire in Belle Mare/Constance hotels

The Constance Festival Culinaire is an internationally recognized culinary competition and dining festival hosted by Constance Hotels and Resorts at its Belle Mare properties, Constance Belle Mare Plage and Constance Prince Maurice, on Mauritius's east coast. Founded around 2006, the week-long event pairs each Constance in-house chef with a visiting international guest chef, often Michelin-starred, for cooking competitions, workshops, and themed dinners.

The Constance Festival Culinaire has grown, since its founding around 2006, into one of the longest-running and most prestigious culinary festivals in the Indian Ocean, hosted each year at Constance Belle Mare Plage and its sister property Constance Prince Maurice on Mauritius's east coast.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Few culinary festivals in the Indian Ocean region can match its roster of visiting talent: recent editions have brought in internationally recognized names such as Pierre Herme, Regis Marcon, and Patrick Bertron for cooking demonstrations and mentorship sessions alongside Constance's own chefs from its Mauritius, Maldives, and Seychelles properties

02

The mystery stays covered

The event's mentorship format, pairing an established international chef with an in-house chef for a hands-on competition, gives it a collaborative, educational dimension beyond a typical guest-chef dinner series, while its Belle Mare setting on Mauritius's east coast places the whole event against a backdrop of championship golf courses and open Indian Ocean views
