Bocuse D’OR 2025

Karlovy Vary is best known for its connection to film. This summer, however, the spotlight shifted elsewhere – to top chefs, culinary visionaries and fans of exceptional gastronomic experiences. The second edition of the prestigious Bocuse d’Or 2025 competition took place in the elegant surroundings of the legendary Grandhotel Pupp.

The event built on the success of the first edition in 2023, which we helped build from the ground up. This year, we once again took full responsibility for the organization – from production and event direction to partner services and communication across online channels.

A day filled with competitive excitement, inspiration and networking attracted more than 560 visitors to Karlovy Vary, while the event reached over 100,000 views online. Alongside the main competition between top chefs, the program also featured thematic workshops and meet & greet sessions with competitors and members of the academy. These activities beautifully complemented the overall atmosphere and expanded the gastronomic experience with education, inspiration and knowledge sharing across the industry. The program was hosted by Petr Říbal.

An integral part of the event was the exclusive Bocuse d’Or Restaurant, with limited capacity, where visitors could enjoy a tasting menu accompanied by Nespresso Galápagos specialty coffee. The final evening concluded with a multi-course tasting menu.

The result was an event with an international reach. Precise organization, strong content and close collaboration with partners set a standard rarely seen at gastronomic events in the Czech Republic.
