Chef Tasos envisioned a restaurant with the highest quality products from the Greek Coasts of the Mediterranean Sea and the catch of the day from the Atlantic Ocean. Both worlds come together on this menu with the daily selection of fresh fish sourced from Miami’s local fishermen and directly from the Greek fish market in Piraeus. Enjoy the authentic flavors of a unique culinary journey. A la carte Breakfast 7:00am – 10:30am Buffett Breakfast 7:00am – 11:00am Lunch 12:00pm – 3:30pm Dinner 6:00pm – 10:30pm

RITUALS
TIMELESS TRADITIONS
“A legacy of distinction dating back to 1904”
CHAMPAGNE SABERING Raise a Glass
Dating back to the battles of Napoleon Bonaparte, who famously opened champagne with his saber in both victory and defeat, the art of sabrage has become a signature ceremony in our Evening Rituals series. The St. Regis Bal Harbour performs this traditional ceremony every evening at 7:30pm in The St. Regis Bar. Private Sabering experiences are available. “Champagne: in victory, one deserves it; in defeat, one needs it.” —Napoleon
THE BLOODY MARY The Original
In 1934, famed barman Fernand Petiot perfected the recipe for a vodka-and-tomato juice cocktail at The St. Regis New York’s King Cole Bar. Originally christened the “Bloody Mary”, the cocktail was initially dubbed the “Red Snapper” so as not to offend the hotel’s refined clientele. More than 80 years later, the iconic Bloody Mary remains the signature cocktail of the St. Regis. Enjoy our unique interpretation, The Bloody Sunrise, at The St. Regis Bar.
AFTERNOON TEA A Ritual Reimagined
Indulge in a timeless ceremony with our traditional St Regis Afternoon Tea ritual, one adopted by Caroline Astor, New York’s Grand Dame, to entertain her closest friends at the iconic St. Regis New York. We look forward to welcoming you for tea in La Gourmandise between 1:00pm and 4:30pm.
St. Regis rituals are at the heart of an exquisite stay. From the glamour of Afternoon Tea to the excitement of the Champagne Sabering, we invite guests to live our legacy. 08 | St. Regis Bal Harbour, Spring Issue 2019
