What You’ll Experience

Taste the Flavors of the Caribbean Experience an evening of Caribbean fine-dining with Chef Helmi Smeulders, renowned from her appearances on Top Chef and 24Kitchen. At the Chef's Table, you'll have a front-row seat to watch Chef Helmi at work as she prepares a menu that showcases the vibrant colors and bold flavors that define Caribbean cuisine. Seated around a beautifully set kitchen island, sixteen guests enjoy a good glass of wine while Chef Helmi prepares a four-course dinner right before your eyes. With each course, she explains the ingredients and techniques she uses, often surprising even local guests with her innovative dishes. There’s a common misconception that Caribbean cuisine lacks refinement, leading many fine dining chefs to focus on international cuisines with imported ingredients. However, the island offers some of the freshest, finest ingredients, perfect for creating contemporary and elegant dishes. Whether you're a passionate foodie, a connoisseur of Caribbean cuisine, or simply seeking an extraordinary dining experience, the Chef’s Table is an event not to be missed. Reserve your seat and join Chef Helmi on her remarkable culinary journey.
