The Exchange

Join us on February 22nd for the M & OpenTable Young Chef of the Year Gala Dinner as we announce the winner of our competition, following eight pop-up evenings by the finalists which took place at M Victoria Street, showcasing the wealth of great young talent in the industry.

The chefs were judged on the quality of their four-course menu, their approach to sustainability, their ability to demonstrate a zero-waste philosophy and ethical sourcing of produce. On the evening, each guest as well as a panel of esteemed judges from the hospitality industry, were given a scorecard on arrival and asked to score their contestant out of 25 for 5 categories; atmosphere, menu construction, presentation, taste and execution.

The scores have been totalled up and a four-course menu has been created for the evening based on highest scoring finalists which will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Please note: We currently do not accept OpenTable dining cheques.
