Bal Harbour, FL – May 10, 2019 – Transforming into an unprecedented gastronomic destination, Bal Harbour Village is home to the newly launched Haute Cuisine, an event that introduces guests to the mouthwatering talents of six of the world’s most celebrated chefs with a combined nine Michelin stars. Created in Switzerland, at W Verbier in 2015, the organizers looked to Miami to launch a North American version of the festival and selected Bal Harbour, South Florida’s most exclusive neighborhood at the northern tip of Miami Beach, as the setting. With ten distinct experiences from which to choose, the festival will span four days from May 8-11th.  A platform for internationally recognized chefs to share their culinary passions with food lovers, Haute Cuisine offers a dynamic schedule of interactive cooking classes and intimate theme-based dinners with specially curated menus of tantalizing dishes.

On Friday afternoon, guests attended the The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort for an immersive cooking class featuring Chef Sergi Arola of Barcelona with a total of two Michelin stars.
