One MICHELIN-starred Estro (#32 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025), helmed by Chef Antimo Maria Merone, will once again join forces with Chef Son Jong-Won of One MICHELIN-starred Eatanic Garden (#25 on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025) in Seoul for a special two-night collaboration on 11-12 October, 2025.
Chefs Antimo and Son first collaborated in Seoul in 2023, sparking a culinary dialogue that continues to evolve with each meeting. For both chefs, these events represent more than just dining – they are about friendship, creativity, and a shared passion for pushing the boundaries of their respective cuisines.
Trained at acclaimed three-MICHELIN-starred restaurants including Quince, Benu, Coi, and Noma, Chef Son Jong-Won is celebrated for his reinvention of Korean traditions through fermentation, ageing, and ingredient-driven creativity. His leadership at both Eatanic Garden (One MICHELIN Star + No.25, Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2025) and L’Amant Secret (One MICHELIN Star) has earned him international recognition.
The upcoming collaboration continues at Eatanic Garden in Seoul on 11–12 October, 2025. This time, the menu will shift to showcase Italian cuisine with Korean accents, offering guests an entirely new experience.
