“EUROPA’s Best” celebrates its 10th anniversary: Festival of food and drink with 10 star-crowned chefs

  • Gourmet festival on board in Antwerp on 22 June 2014
  • Special jubilee celebration with 10 award-winning chefs and jubilee guest Eckart Witzigmann
  • High point of the Gourmet Cruise from Lisbon to Hamburg

This year the popular, annual gourmet festival "EUROPA's Best" celebrates a truly special anniversary. For ten years now, numerous Michelin-starred chefs and other high flyers in the world of fine dining, including winegrowers, chocolatiers, patissiers and fromagers, have gathered together once a year on board the EUROPA to transform the Lido Deck into a gourmet mile. To mark this round-number anniversary in 2014, appropriately EUROPA's chef de cuisine, Thorsten Gillert, is to welcome on board 10 star-crowned chefs.

The award-winning top chefs represent Germany, Austria, Switzerland and, of course, Belgium. After all, this year as always, the EUROPA is to moor in Antwerp for the special evening event devoted entirely to the delights of haute cuisine par excellence.

Also on board as the special jubilee guest is Eckart Witzigmann, crowned “Chef of the Century” by Gault Millau. Passengers are also to enjoy the pleasure of sampling one of his creations – a “signature dish” from his repertoire will be presented on the menu in the EUROPA Restaurant on the evening of the event.
