Simon Rogan’s Thailand restaurant awarded first Michelin star
Daniel Calvert becomes first English chef to win three Michelin stars abroad
+1 Daniel Calvert, executive chef at SÉZANNE in Tokyo, has become the first english chef to win three Michelin stars outside of the UK.
Less than four years after opening, the French-Japanese cuisine restaurant has achieved the prestigious honour of three stars from Michelin, in the most recent edition of the Tokyo guide.
From Surrey originally, Daniel, still only in his mid-30s, has worked at star-studded kitchens in London, Paris, New York and Hong Kong, becoming the youngest chef to win a Michelin star in the latter.
He previously worked at the likes of The Ivy, Pied à Terre, Per Se, Epicure at Le Bristol and Belon, before moving to Tokyo in 2021 to open SÉZANNE.
The restaurant is housed at Four Seasons Hotel Tokyo at Marunouchi. Along with a third star, SÉZANNE this year placed first in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list.
Discussing earning a third Michelin star, Daniel said: “We are deeply humbled and immensely proud to receive the most prestigious recognition in our industry.
“Thank you to the Michelin Guide for placing their trust in our commitment to excellence.
“This distinction belongs to every single member of our team who has poured their heart into our vision, and it is through their tireless devotion that we have achieved this monumental milestone.
“We are also deeply grateful for the support of our guests and partners who have been right there with us on this extraordinary journey.”
