The Toquicimes culinary festival is back in action from October 20 to 23, 2022 and will have Pierre Hermé as its sponsor. Initiated by the three-star chef Emmanuel Renaut, Toquicimes brings together dozens of chefs from all over France each year for four days of festivities.
Toquicimes, the meeting place for mountain cuisine
Toquicimes has become an unmissable and emblematic meeting place for mountain cuisine since its creation in 2017. Thanks to this festival, Megève proves that it is much more than a ski resort, but also a village designed for welcome gourmets.
This year, it is the world-famous pastry chef and chocolate maker, Pierre Hermé, who will be the sponsor of this 5th edition, which will be all the more gourmet.
Megève has established itself as the capital of mountain gastronomy with no less than 75 restaurants including four starred. It was therefore logical that Toquicimes was born and grew up here, within this typical resort, known throughout the world for its sense of hospitality. Toquicimes is a real invitation to discover the region and the typical gastronomy of the Savoyard mountains.
Playful and gourmet, this is the autumn event not to be missed in Megève! For 4 days, the resort of Megève bends to the temptation of delicacies, taste and a host of chefs, each more talented and starred than the next.
The highlights of the Toquicimes 2022
Toquicimes brings together starred chefs, personalities from the world of taste, farmers, producers and local artisans to highlight their gastronomic know-how, most often ancestral. The culinary festival invites you to experience wonderful moments through competitions, events, tastings, challenges but also through conferences.
