Acclaimed Two Michelin Star Guest Chef at H one

Two Michelin star chef Juuse Mikkonen is presenting his gastronomic cuisine at Hong Kong’s ‘Ultimate Dining Experience' H one at ifc, Central from February 18-27.

The acclaimed guest chef heads the celebrated Chez Dominique in Helsinki, Finland - recently nominated one of the top 50 restaurants in the world.

Aged 36, he has also been voted Finland's Chef of the Year.

Against the backdrop of breathtaking panoramic views of Victoria Harbour, his tasting menu includes such gourmet signature dishes as sauteéd scallops with cauliflower, calamari and beurre noisette, slowly braised neck of lamb with piquillo peppers and smoked aubergine and raspberry soufflé with chocolate sorbet and bourbon vanilla Anglaise.

Juuse Mikkonen is no stranger to Hong Kong. He was previously Executive Sous Chef at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, which has since earned 2 Michelin stars for signature restaurant Amber.

"Hong Kong will always have a special place in my heart, with an extremely sophisticated clientele that appreciates good food, so returning for this promotion is a great pleasure," he said.

His career has taken him to various restaurants and hotels elsewhere around the world including Bermuda, Oslo, Frankfurt and 2 Michelin star restaurant La Rive in Amsterdam.
