Culinary Excellence in the Caribbean: 10th Edition of Saint Barth Gourmet Festival
23-Oct-2023
A culinary festival will unfold in the heart of the Caribbean's most idyllic haven. The Collectivité of St. Barthélemy and the island's Tourism Committee are thrilled to announce the grand return of the Saint Barth Gourmet Festival, now in its tenth edition. Scheduled to grace our shores from November 7th to 12th, 2023, this event has been eagerly anticipated by the island's residents and epicurean enthusiasts worldwide.
A Feast of Chefs and Rising Stars
At the heart of this extraordinary culinary celebration lies the art of collaboration. The festival combines a symphony of culinary talents, featuring a dozen distinguished & Michelin-starred chefs, mainly from France, each ready to craft 'four-handed' dinners. These carefully curated culinary duets will be showcased in 11 of the island's most exquisite dining establishments, including our elegant Amis St. Barth, which offers island-inspired French Mediterranean cuisine.
But that's not all. The Saint Barth Gourmet Festival also shines a spotlight on the future of fine dining. Talented young "togues" (aspiring chefs) will compete for the title of Best Young Chef of St. Barthélemy. At the same time, the island's skilled mixologists will showcase their prowess in a thrilling bartending competition. And, of course, the ever-popular waitstaff race promises to entertain and amaze.
