MAKRO Czech celebrates GASTRO FEST with 15,000 visitors

From 4 to 6 May, the Czech national subsidiary, together with the Czech Gastronomic Institute, organised the "MAKRO Czech Gastro Fest", the largest event of its kind in the Czech Republic to date. A total of around 15,000 visitors took part in the three-day food congress and festival. The first two days were primarily aimed at professional visitors from the hospitality sector - from restaurateurs and chefs to suppliers and representatives of associations and institutions that support the hospitality industry. In addition to culinary topics, the focus was on current industry topics such as inflation, digitalisation and the recruitment of skilled workers. On the third day, a food festival open to the public took place on the topic of healthy nutrition, the highlight of which was the ceremonial announcement of the winner of the national Bocuse d'Or competition. As the winner of this renowned cooking competition, Dominik Unčovský and his team were able to prevail over nine competitors and is allowed to participate in the final, European Bocuse d'Or finals in Trondheim in 2024. Unčovský has been a makro academy ambassador since last year.
