“A Taste of Switzerland in Houston” at Le Jardinier

On Friday, November 3 and Saturday, November 4, The Bastion Collection brings together two of its acclaimed chefs – Olivier Jean and Felipe Botero – for a culinary collaboration that celebrates the elegance of Switzerland and the vibrancy of Houston. Chef Olivier, a protégé of legendary chef Joël Robuchon, presides over L’Atelier Robuchon, which was recently awarded a second Michelin star, and Le Jardinier in Geneva, Switzerland.
