Join us for a unique hospitality experience created by VIVES LoReCa students. Since 2021, VIVES LoReCa - the department of Hospitality, Restaurant & Catering at VIVES University of Applied Sciences - has proudly organised the Jeunes Chefs Rôtisseurs and Jeunes Sommeliers National Competitions for the Bailliage of Belgium.

As a graduation project, the students take over an entire hotel for the weekend. Second-year students serve as managers, whilst first-year students operate as staff. Their talent, dedication and excellence in L’Art de la Table are at the heart of these events.
