With the support of the esteemed Culinary Art Commission, Saudi HORECA co-locates with the globally notorious Salon du Chocolat et de la Patisserie, a world-famous chocolate showcase that originated in Paris and now graces more than 17 cities worldwide, including New York, Tokyo, and Dubai.

During the announcing event, the jury of the Top Chef program – including Chef Maroun Chedid, restaurateur, and media personality; Chef Robert Chinn, television presenter, restaurateur, and renowned cookbook author; and Chef Mona Mosly, the first Saudi woman to be recognized as a culinary pioneer and judge on The Taste reality cooking show – were honored in the presence of Mr. Bassel Al-Radi, Mr. Saoud Al-Rajhi, Mr. Nayef Al-Rajhi, Eng. Hicham Al-Rabbah, Mr. Mohammed Al Ithnayn, and a group of hospitality professionals and several ambassadors.
