Award Recipient


Emmanuel Stroobant
Saint Pierre
Branded for his creativity and relentless innovation when designing the restaurant’s menu to reflect the four seasons, Stroobant constantly revamps the menu to evoke an elevated sensorial experience.

For his undisputable commitment and service towards culinary brilliance, Stroobant has been awarded ‘Best Apprentice Chef of Belgium’ in 1987 and 1988, and has achieved the glamorous title of S.Pellegrino Chef of the Year at the WGS Awards of Excellence 2002.

Saint Julien

Chef and owner of Saint Julien, Julien Bompard is a two-time winner of the prestigious 5-Star Diamond Award as “One of the Best Chefs in the World” of American Academy Hospitality Sciences. Once under the tutelage of some of the finest chefs such as Alain Dutournier at Carrée des Feuillants, Paris - Place Vendôme, the team of Louis Outhier at the famous “L’Oasis” on the Côté d’Azur near Cannes, and the three-Michelin-starred masterchef Jacques Lameloise, in Chagny, Burgundy. Now, as an experienced chef himself, Bompard takes pleasure in tutoring those who are passionate about their craft, just like himself.
