“Les Trophées 2025”
at Le Cordon Bleu
Paris institute
On Monday 22 September 2025, Le Cordon Bleu Paris institute was delighted to host for the sixth consecutive year the “Les Trophées 2025” competition, organised by Le Chef magazine. A prestigious jury, made up of 2 and 3 Michelin-starred Chefs, joined Jury President, 3 Michelin-starred chef Jérôme Banctel, to vote for the Up-and-Coming Chef of the Year 2025.
The five candidates taking part in the comptetition were assisted in the kitchen by students commis from the institute. They helped them to prepare dishes that were as delicious as they were creative.
The awards ceremony then took place at the iconic Pavillon Gabriel, in the heart of the Champs-Élysées gardens, where our student volunteers oversaw service.
The title of Up-and-Coming Chef of the Year 2025 was won Xavier Dadaux (Le Couvent des Minimes).
Le Cordon Bleu Paris is delighted and proud to give its students the opportunity to take part in events such as this. The competition gave them the opportunity to gain experience in both the kitchen and front of house and to be fully involved in a gastronomic event which is a key moment for the profession and for all those who are passionate about gastronomy.
