Over the past 25 years, Simon has developed a distinctive and inventive cooking style that has led to worldwide acclaim. Building a culinary destination in Cartmel, in the Lake District of England, Simon opened restaurant L’Enclume in 2002, followed by Rogan & Company in 2008. L’Enclume currently holds two Michelin stars, and Simon Rogan was also named the AA Chef of the Year 2017, holding five AA Rosettes at L’Enclume and three AA Rosettes at Rogan & Company. With five restaurants already to his name, including two-Michelin-starred L’Enclume in the Lake District, one-Michelin starred Roganic and Rogan & Co in London, Rogan’s inaugural international dining destinations Aulis Hong Kong and Roganic Hong Kong offer up-close and personal experiences with the season’s freshest produce.

“Through this collaboration, Kirk and our team at Roganic Hong Kong will be showcasing the best of Britain’s seasonal produce. This is definitely a rare occasion in Hong Kong, and we can’t wait for our guests to experience these two upcoming dinners,” says Chef Simon Rogan.
