Michael Kloeti

Swiss born, raised and trained, Michael Kloeti has worked in a variety of settings ranging from New York City ’s 4-star Lespinasse to the award winning Lodge at Koele on Lanaii , Hawaii . The desire to be closer to his food sources lured him away from his position as Chef de Cuisine at the St. Regis Hotel in Manhattan, and to the opening of Michael’s on the Hill Restaurant in 2002.His cooking inspiration stems from his childhood–European comfort food, sustainable and unprocessed. By combining years of diverse training and Vermont ’s culinary bounty, Michael has created his own notable cooking style. Michael has the honor of being recognized as the first ever “Vermont Chef of the Year” and he has been a featured chef on various television shows and international publications. He has been invited as a guest chef to locations ranging from Disney World to the Caribbean, and can be seen on WCAX Vermont Television morning and evening news. Located in Waterbury Center, Vermont, Michael’s on the Hill offers locally driven modern European cuisine in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant has been awarded with the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence and the Santé Magazine Regional Sustainable Restaurant Award, and is a Certified Green Restaurant.
