Cloche service


Cloche service refers to the act of carrying and presenting a dish covered by a silver dome, the cloche, before uncovering it in front of the guest. The dome preserves heat and concentrates the aromas that are released at the moment of unveiling. A signature of gastronomic tables, this gesture heightens the staging of the dish and prolongs the sensory anticipation until the final reveal performed by the waiter.
