Kai Weigand has already worked his way up mightily with his young years. After his apprenticeship at the Landhaus Tanner, he spent several years in the restaurants of the two-star and TV chef Tim Raue, where he honed his skills in the two-star restaurant, but also in the Brasserie Colette and Sra Bua. As head chef at Gutshaus Stolpe, he cooked up a Michelin star before moving to Hamburg in April 2022, where he is now putting his own spin on the Peruvian-Japanese menu at the NIKKEI NINE restaurant on the Binnenalster.
