Four hands in a class of their own – Stefan Stiller and Heiko Nieder cook together at The Epicure 2024
As every year, “The Restaurant” chef Heiko Nieder (two Michelin stars) once again presents an impressive line-up of international chefs. A special guest chef in 2024 is German chef Stefan Stiller, who has been awarded three Michelin stars and will be taking part in THE EPICURE for the first time. Stefan Stiller has been cooking in the Chinese metropolis of Shanghai since 2005 and opened his restaurant “Taian Table” in 2016, with a gourmet concept that got him off to a flying start. The first Michelin star came immediately, the second 2019 and the third followed in 2021. His second restaurant in Guangu also has two stars. Stiller will certainly be in good company when the elite of the international chef scene meet again at THE EPICURE in July 2024 and ensure unforgettable culinary moments.
