In Europe’s most renowned establishments, upon the shores of the Caribbean and amongst the bright lights of Taipei, Chef Slawomir Kowalik has showcased his skills and ingenuity in some

of the world’s most exciting and alluring destinations. After being trained in classical French and European cuisine, he left his homeland of Poland and spent 15 years working in MICHELIN restaurants and five-star hotels. Chef Slawomir blends classic and modern techniques, and draws inspiration from the culinary cultures he encounters.  His four years at The Savoy in London made

him dedicated to achieving guest satisfaction, a mentor to up-and-coming chefs and enhanced his operations and kitchen management skills. While at the Mandarin Oriental Taipei, he supported the French Brasserie to ensure the product quality was consistently high. From the smallest details to the most complex sequences and banqueting, Chef Slawomir is capable and ready to handle

any situation in and out of the kitchen. He joins Sindhorn Kempinski as a Chef de Cuisine focusing on French and Mediterranean cuisine. With his passion and skill set, Chef Slawomir is sure to add to Sindhorn Kempinski’s treasure trove of culinary experiences. 

Chef Arnaud Dunand Sauthier, a master of French cuisine and culinary icon in Bangkok’s restaurant scene, found his passion for cooking during his childhood in the mountains of the   Savoie region, France. Starting from the tender age of 12, Chef Arnaud instantly fell in love with

cooking and ultimately this is where his culinary journey began. His journey has brought him to work in some of the most esteemed kitchens and with some renowned culinary talents globally, including Marc Veyrat, Jacques Lameloise and Jean Francois Piège at Hôtel de Crillon.  In 2012, Chef Arnaud was given the helm of Le Normandie’s acclaimed kitchen, where he combined his expertise of classic French cooking techniques together with the best produce sourced directly from France. He was able to propel Le Normandie to new gastronomic heights and earned two Michelin stars in the very first edition of the Michelin Guide Bangkok in 2017, something he maintained until his departure from this world-renowned establishment.
