Newly introduced during the 2021 Grand Final, the restaurant dessert and its Jury of pastry chefs and cooks integrated the tasting tests of the continental selections!
The candidates had to make 10 restaurant desserts: the presentation, composition and service were up to the candidates' choice.

The committee also wanted to highlight the dimension of "finger food" through another new tasting: the ice lolly. Shapes (cone, popsicles, etc.), colors, and composition were freely chosen by the candidates.
