The Battle of the Chefs: See you at RockyPop Grenoble for the 3rd edition
On Saturday, April 11, 2026, RockyPop Grenoble will host the third edition of the Combat des Chefs, a festive culinary event that has become a must-attend for lovers of creative cuisine, local products, and unique experiences in Grenoble.
For this year’s edition, the event organized by Assas Hotels promises an evening that’s as delicious as it is fun, right in the heart of the Alpine capital. 🏔️
What is "The Battle of the Chefs"?
Sponsored by Michelin-starred chef Laurent Azoulay and by the Meilleur Ouvrier de France Bernard Mure-Ravaud, this event aims to be generous, committed, and participatory.
Two teams made up of talented chefs from the Assas Hotels group are going head-to-head in a unique culinary challenge!
Their mission? 🧑🏻🍳
Each participant is to create a three-course surprise menu —featuring a starter, main course, and dessert—based on a single requirement: showcasing local ingredients while incorporating a mystery ingredient, which must be featured in both the food and the drinks.
🍷 The menus will be paired with wine, as well as with non-alcoholic beverages.
You are the jury
This cooking competition isn't just something to watch—it's an experience to be fully immersed in, and you are the stars of the show.
👉 When you reserve your table, you’ll have the privilege of sampling both menus created by our culinary teams. This immersive experience will not only allow you to discover two distinct creative worlds, but also to help choose the grand winner. 🥇
Because here, the guests are fully immersed in the experience!
You’ll become a member of the judging panel and are invited to vote for your favorite team. 🍴
Your choice will help determine which team wins at the knife-cutting ceremony, the highlight of this evening dedicated to good food, sharing, and camaraderie.
A charity event
🧑🏻🍳 The proceeds from this event will be donated to Happy Toque and Cuisine sans frontières, two organizations supported by the Assas Hotels group.
Through this initiative, Combat des Chefs goes beyond the culinary aspect to promote a genuine spirit of solidarity 🤝. By attending this event, guests help support meaningful, concrete initiatives that reflect the values of sharing, commitment, and passing on knowledge—values that are dear to the group.
