Guests will be presented with a sophisticated five-course menu featuring various geometric, structured and deconstructed dishes created by Chefs Michel Roth, Joël Césari, Thierry Drapeau, Patrick Jeffroy and Edgard Bovier withlocal and international wines to complement each course. At the centre of the restaurant, guests can capture the moment with a two-metre-high selfie booth created by artist Christopher Lecoutre branded with the hashtag ’#WHauteCuisine’. This playful installation will go on to become a permanent feature at W Verbier.

Thursday 5th April Starting at 11am, Chefs Thierry Drapeau and Patrick Jeffroy will be leading the morning cookery workshops before an evening curated by five chefs: Sergi Arola, Joël Césari, Jean-Baptiste Natali, Alain Caron and Jacques Pourcel. Inspired by W Hotels “DETOX. RETOX. REPEAT” programme, the highly nutritional menu will be full of colours and flavours and paired with killer cocktails made by W Mixologists.

Friday 6th April Chefs Sergi Arola and Jean-Baptiste Natali will be heading up the cookery classes, where they will reveal their recipes and share their culinary secrets. Five chefs will come together in the kitchen for an evening where both the entertainment and menu will be inspired by Fashion. Chefs Sergi Arola, Alain Caron, Thierry Drapeau, Patrick Jeffroy and Edgard Bovier will create five gourmet courses, featuring dishes that look as fabulous as they taste, paired with delicious wines. During dinner, guests will get a front row seat to see the latest Spring/Summer 2018 fashion trends at the Concept Store Attitude Verbier Fashion-show.

Saturday 7th April The final cookery workshops of Haute Cuisine 2018 will be hosted by Chefs Alain Caron and Edgard Bovier before a ‘festival-style’ evening full of flavour. All the chefs will come together and work in pairs to create a not-to-be-missed five-course dinner. Showcasing W Hotels passion for Music, each dish will be inspired by a song, which guests will listen to during each course. Champagne will be flowing during live music performances followed by an after-party in CARVE where chefs and guests alike can let loose and celebrate the end to another incredible weekend of cuisine.
