RESTAURANTS AND BARS “The St. Regis Bal Harbour’s restaurants each present an exquisite culinary experience.”

ATLANTIKÓS Reminiscent of the bright blue and white contrasting colors of Greece, Atlantikós exudes a truly authentic dining experience. 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.

BH BURGER BAR As Bal Harbour’s first gourmet burger restaurant, BH Burger Bar offers a customizable menu featuring signature burgers, steaks, wings, signature sides and indulgent shakes paired with local craft beer, all in a lively and relaxed space.

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 6:30pm in La Gourmandise.

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 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

St. Regis rituals are at the heart of an exquisite stay. From the glamour of the Champagne Sabering, we invite guests to live our legacy.
