Simon Rogan’s L’Enclume again named best in the world in La Liste 1000
Simon Rogan’s Thailand restaurant awarded first Michelin star
Simon Rogan’s restaurant Aulis Phuket has been awarded its first Michelin star, less than a year after opening.
Brit Simon’s three Michelin-starred Cumbria venue L’Enclume was this week ranked alongside eight others as the best restaurant in the world in La Liste 1000.
Simon, who was awarded an MBE this year, also owns Aulis in London, which holds a Michelin star.
Located within Iniala Beach House on Thailand’s Natai Beach, Aulis Phuket offers an intimate 15-seat dining experience, championing hyper-local ingredients and sustainable practices.
Upon winning the Michelin star, Simon said: “Aulis as a concept allows us such creative freedom, where we can immerse ourselves in perfecting dishes and then passing on that knowledge and passion to diners in an intimate setting.
“Winning a Michelin star less than one year after opening is not only a huge honour, it is testament to the team’s dedication and hard work, as well as the ongoing success of our partnership with Iniala.”
Aulis Phuket opened in December 2023, with executive chef Oli Marlow and head chef Charlie Wilson.
Mark Weingard, founder of Iniala Group, added: “We're so thrilled that Aulis Phuket has been recognised with a prestigious Michelin star.
“When we first welcomed Simon Rogan and his team to Iniala Beach House, following his success at ION Harbour in Malta, we knew that something extraordinary was about to happen. It has been remarkable to witness the restaurant's growth, and how the team have blended innovative culinary techniques with the diverse ingredients of Thailand.
“Simon, Oli, Charlie, Arsen (Brahaj, restaurant manager) and the team have established a world-class culinary destination that elevates Natai Beach onto the international gastronomic stage, and we could not be prouder.”
