The seventh annual St. Barth’s Gourmet Festival, to be held November 11-15, has announced this year’s featured chefs which include some of France’s very best culinary talent.

These award-winning chefs will cook alongside local culinary teams at some of the island’s finest hotels and restaurants, preparing one-of-a-kind multicourse tasting menus. A St. Barth signature event, the Gourmet Festival celebrates the long-standing tradition of culinary excellence on the island while paying tribute to French gastronomy.
