SUBLIMEURS DINNER
Spring 2024
For the second consecutive year and after the success of the dinners of four protagonists in the ENCUENTRO en 2022, Sublimeurs and à la belle étoile are setting the scene again, in the regions this time, with a very specific objective in mind: that of promoting producers and the gastronomy of Hauts de France.
Sublimeurs federates and animates a collective of more than 150 chefs, producers & artisans of the food trades who make the committed gastronomy of Hauts-de-France. Members are rigorously selected on the basis of the quality of their products, the authenticity of their know-how and their social and environmental responsibility.
In order to highlight this know-how, Sublimeurs is joining forces with A la belle étoile to offer committed dinners, an opportunity for chefs to promote the products of their producers and artisans, by involving them fully in the experience, by their presence and testimony that punctuate these dinners.
Discover below the program of the second edition, a first in the Touquet region.

This fusion allows them to push the limits of their creativity by offering original and tasty cuisine, while working with local and seasonal products.
