BELON Welcomes Chef Son Jong-won Of L’Amant Secret!
This May, Chef Matthew Kirkley and Chef Mina Güçlüer welcome Chef Son Jong-won of L’Amant Secret to BELON.
Before their names carried weight in their own kitchens, Chef Matthew and Chef Son worked side by side at COI, a three-MICHELIN-starred restaurant based in San Francisco. Their paths diverged, taking them across different cities, kitchens and philosophies, each shaping a distinct voice along the way.
Chef Son has forged a style of his own, drawing from Korean flavours with restraint and clarity, expressed through a refined, contemporary lens. Meanwhile, Chef Matthew continues to define a language rooted in classical technique, with Chef Mina bringing a new energy to the kitchen — lighter, more fluid and deeply personal.
Together, for two nights only, they come together not to revisit the past, but to continue the conversation. A seven-course menu unfolds as a meeting of perspectives, shaped by where they began and where they are now.
