The St. Barth Gourmet Festival is one of the most prestigious culinary events in the Caribbean, transforming the island into a world-class gastronomic hub every November

Founded in 2013, the festival celebrates the art of French "art de vivre" by pairing the island’s luxury hotels and restaurants with Michelin-starred chefs from around the globe. For several days, these guest chefs take over local kitchens to create exclusive, multi-course tasting menus.
