A British-Canadian chef’s nod to Hong Kong childhood at 2-Michelin-star London restaurant

Jeremy Chan spent his first eight years in Hong Kong. His menu on April 23 for two-Michelin-star restaurant Ikoyi, in London, reflected that
When it comes to cooking, chef Jeremy Chan refuses to be boxed in.

At Ikoyi, the two-Michelin-star London restaurant he co-founded in 2017, his creations don’t sway towards West African cuisine, despite having borrowed the establishment’s name from his co-founder’s hometown in Lagos, Nigeria.

Nor does the food overtly tell of Chan’s international background – born in Britain to a Chinese father and Canadian mother, he grew up between Hong Kong, Canada and the United States. Instead, it is a restaurant that firmly reflects Chan’s totality of cultures.

Yet on the night of April 23, Chan, 39, went back to his roots and cooked a menu inspired by his memories of Hong Kong, the city where he spent the first eight years of his life.
