As the current head chef of Nour, a Michelin Star restaurant in Sweden, Chef Isaksson Shared, “My goals have always been the same throughout my career, to create a contemporary gastronomic experience that is both local, global and in fine tune with nature.”

“This allows me to create out of this world flavours and truly create something truly unique. I am excited to once again be back in the kitchen of the Mandarin Grill and the opportunity to create an even greater impact than I did six years ago,” he added.
