Raising a Glass to a Rising Star

As Chef de Cuisine of Palme d’Or, Philippe Ruiz earned Zagat’s rating as “Best French Restaurant in Southeast USA,” and received a fourstar rating in The Miami Herald for three consecutive years.

In recognition for his ongoing commitment to quality and passion for producing elevated cuisine, Chef Ruiz has been promoted to Biltmore Executive Chef de Cuisine, in charge of directing culinary operations in all of Biltmore’s signature restaurants and associated beverage outlets. Chef Ruiz will be responsible for cultivating the identity of Biltmore’s profile as a world-class culinary destination.

In addition, Chef Ruiz will direct training and certification of Biltmore’s culinary personnel, and teach cooking classes for students of various educational institutions, including Johnson & Wales and FIU.

Chef Ruiz will remain at the helm of Palme d’Or, continuing to earn accolades for his award-winning cuisine, which will be featured in an upcoming Palme d’Or cookbook to be released later this year. Drop by for dinner at Palme d’Or, meet Chef Ruiz and sample his star-studded cuisine.

Cheers!
