Firstnd edition of the festival will close its chapter tonight on the Marigot seafront with the grand closing party. We will still have to wait a few hours to know the name of the Best Table of Saint-Martin 2024-2025, it will be played between Sandy's Creole Cuisine, Coco Beach, Le Savannah and Les Galets.
The region has been buzzing with the Gastronomy Festival since November 11. Starting off with a bang, the event didn't slow down during this second week. Open from November 15 to 17, the Gastronomy Village drew crowds despite the unpredictable weather. With 30 restaurant stands gathered in one place, visitors were able to sample the local culinary richness. The three musical evenings, jazz, zouk and reggae, marked the weekend with a festive atmosphere. Last Monday, the high school competition kept the guest chefs busy. Led by the incomparable chef Laurent Huguet, the six candidates competed by offering a menu based on guavaberry, the flagship ingredient of the 2024 edition. The jury managed to decide between them but will keep the suspense going until this evening. The cooking workshops ended last Wednesday with the last, full session for children. In the evening, the barbecue competition remained true to its reputation: a popular success, crowning Sky's The Limit. See you tonight for the closing party from 18pm. All the festival's guest chefs will gather at the stove to make you discover their specialties, from the 4 corners of the world. The musical atmosphere will be provided by DJ Big Boss, DJ Maestro, and Sugar Apple Band for a festive and unforgettable evening. _Vx
