Five years ago, when the neoParisian restaurant first opened on Elgin Street, Founders Syed Asim Hussain and Christopher Mark embarked on a journey of their own, their first venture into a new kind of dining experience. Back in February, BELON closed its doors on its inaugural home and has since reopened in an elegant, elevated space designed by Joyce Wang Studio. At the helm is Chef Matthew Kirkley, who, for the first time in his career, will be working in a restaurant that is unapologetically French, where he can present exquisitely executed classicallyminded cuisine.

Having carved out its spot as a preeminent dining destination in Asia, Chris, Asim, and the team are looking forward to achieving new heights as they embark on the next chapter in the book of BELON.
