Susur Lee is one of Toronto's most influential chefs, known for fusing intricate French technique with the fresh ingredients and bold flavours of Chinese cuisine. Born in Hong Kong, he arrived in Toronto as a teenager and rose through the city's restaurant scene to become a culinary landmark in his own right.
His flagship restaurant Lee (601 King Street West) serves a signature nineteen-course "Singapore-style slaw" tasting menu alongside more approachable dishes. The cooking is precise and inventive, drawing on Lee's background in both Cantonese and classical French kitchens.
