Aruba Marriott Resort partners with Michelin Star Chef François Geurds

The Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino is partnering with renowned 2 Michelin Star Chef – François Geurds. Chef Geurds has two Michelin Star restaurants, both located in Rotterdam,
Netherlands, and has special ties to the island of Aruba as his mother is Aruban and was born into a family of Aruban heritage. From a young age he’s been mesmerized by his mother’s passion for cooking and use of flavors. Through the years to come, Geurds mastered his cooking techniques, and today owns his very own Dutch Gastronomy Flavor Laboratory, where he experiments and creates flavors that meet you on your plate and palette.

Through this partnership, the Aruba Marriott Resort aims to continue being on the map as a culinary destination, by providing two unique culinary experiences to our guests, including a 6-course dinner and wine pairing event hosted at Atardi, the resort’s signature beach dining restaurant. Additionally, this collaboration will feature an “Aruban Classics Revisited” event with local celebrity chefs at The Lobby, the resort’s “it place” located in the resort’s main lobby. During Chef Geurds’ time in Aruba, he will also work alongside aspiring local chefs and local students in the culinary field, an opportunity of a lifetime!
