Andrew Wong
Chef at A.Wong** (London, United Kingdom)
Andrew Wong is a chef, anthropologist, and cultural observer.
British-born of Chinese heritage, his environment and upbringing have had an equal impact. The fusion of both, coupled with a solid academic background, has led to a cooking style that firmly places one foot in the future while drawing inspiration from the past. His cuisine is an intuitive expression of tradition, authenticity, and craftsmanship.
Andrew opened A.Wong with his wife Nathalie in 2012 - the 'A' is a tribute to his parents Albert and Annie - and the restaurant was awarded its first Michelin star in 2017. In 2021, A.Wong will be awarded a second Michelin star, the first restaurant outside Asia to receive this honour. He is also a research fellow at the Centre for Food Studies at the London School of Oriental and African Studies.
