The Apurva Kempinski Bali Unveils Michelin-Starred Chefs Collaboration “Celebration of Culinary Arts”

With its esteemed recognition as a resort that always managed to push its excellence to the next level, The Apurva Kempinski Bali unveils a couple of gastronomic affairs in February under the Celebration of Culinary Arts event. The resort’s illustrious Michelin-starred chef and a Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF 2004), Romuald Fassenet, takes command to spearhead a series of collaborative dining experiences with the resort’s culinary stars.

Chef Romuald Fassenet’s pursuit of culinary excellence took him across the world from Matignon in France to other revered kitchens in the United States and Germany, where he honed his craft under the guide of Michelin-starred chef Jean-Paul Jeunet.

His relentless pursuit of crafting a sensory marvel that embodies creativity, refinement, and excitement has led to numerous notable accolades and accomplishments, including the esteemed Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF 2004) and his first Michelin star in 2006. Chef Fassenet and his wife Catherine are the esteemed owners of Le Château du Mont-Joly and Bouchon Le Grévy.
