Biography, Chef Michael Kloeti

After a four-year apprenticeship and working as Sous Chef near his native Switzerland, Michael Kloeti grew interested in enriching his classical education with that of other cultures. In 1993, he and his wife, Laura, a graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, moved to New York City. Michael then joined Gray Kunz at Lespinasse Restaurant during which time the restaurant received four stars from the New York Times. Michael has also worked as Sous Chef at the Lodge at Koele Resort in Lanai, Hawaii, and as Chef de Cuisine at the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan, to mention a few.

The decision to raise their family in Vermont led them to their long awaited dream. Opened in 2002, Michael's on the Hill Restaurant offers innovative European cuisine with the perfect blend of American Regional influence. As members of the Vermont Fresh Network, the use of local, fresh products are of premier importance.
