Episode Details

Björn Frantzén, the three-Michelin-starred culinary visionary known for redefining fine dining with Nordic, Japanese, and French fusion, is making his mark in Australia with two high-profile openings: Én by Björn Frantzén in Sydney and Brasserie Astoria in Perth, both launching early next year. Taking over Clare Smyth’s former space in Sydney, Frantzén aims to push hospitality boundaries with a menu still under wraps—likely tasting menus priced at a premium, echoing his global standards. While Australia has seen international chefs falter, Frantzén’s innovative storytelling through food and his refusal to replicate past concepts could spark a seismic shift in Sydney’s dining scene, igniting excitement among local chefs.
