The largest convention centre in the Canadian Maritimes.
The newly opened Halifax Convention Centre can host up to 2,000 people. Halifax is known for their great food, therefore it puts the pressure on the banqueting team to serve a superb dining experience to thousands of tourists at the same time. This is why Chef Christophe's experience with banqueting was critical to the kitchen's design.
Altogether there are fourteen SelfCookingCenter® units on site. The majority of the units are full sized 202 units that are used along with the RATIONAL Finishing® systems. This enables them to spend more time preparing their plates in advance. They also have a SelfCookingCenter® that is exclusively for the in house baker.
Beyond finding powerful efficiencies with the SelfCookingCenter®, Chef Christophe shared that the real value was in the quality of the dishes created. “Incorporating the SelfCookingCenter® in our kitchen has enabled us to produce a higher level of consistency, which is vital for banqueting. It also allowed us to really push the boundaries on our menu development, which has been well received from our clients.”
