Canapés originated in France in the 18th century, gaining popularity as a pre-dinner snack. These bite-sized hors d'oeuvres were initially served on slices of bread, but evolved to include a variety of bases like crackers, pastry shells, or even cucumber rounds. Renowned chefs like Auguste Escoffier and Georges Auguste Escoffier popularized canapés, showcasing their creativity and culinary skills. Today, canapés are enjoyed worldwide, with variations in different regions. The best versions of this dish can be found in upscale restaurants and catering services, where attention to detail and quality ingredients are paramount.
