First EVER MICHELIN STAR Korean chefs in the UK – How Sollip Blends French & Korean Flavours

Sollip, the first Korean-owned restaurant in the UK to earn a MICHELIN star, is redefining fine dining by blending French techniques with Korean flavours. Founded by husband-and-wife duo Chef Woongchul Park and Pastry Chef Bomee Ki, this London-based restaurant has gained a reputation for its delicate, beautifully crafted dishes that blur the lines between two distinct culinary worlds.
