Taste of Horecava

During Horecava 2026, together with culinary guide Gault&Millau, we proudly present Taste of Horecava once again: an exclusive Chef’s Table where the essence of Affordable Luxury comes to life. Top chefs from leading restaurants will showcase their craftsmanship to a select group of hospitality professionals, with refinement and experience taking center stage. In an intimate setting of around thirty guests per session, you’ll witness how innovative cooking techniques, sustainable ingredients, and smart processes come together in a culinary journey that excites all the senses. Here, luxury is defined by attention, meaning, and quality over quantity.

Taste of Horecava is where inspiration, innovation, and genuine hospitality meet — a moment of pure sophistication that will stay with you.

Taste of Horecava by Guilt&Millau is a unique experience for the higher gastronomic segment. As a visitor, you will have the opportunity to discover how various top chefs use innovative cooking techniques and ingredients to take the taste experience to a higher level. At the same time, there are plenty of opportunities to exchange knowledge and inspiration and expand your network. The Chef’s Table can accommodate approximately 30 guests per session.
