Lorenzo Fioravanti
General Manager
Hailing from Abruzzo, Lorenzo started his career at
the prestigious Casadonna Reale. Through eight
years at this prestigious 3-star Michelin restaurant in Castel di Sangro (population 6,500), he worked his way up to Restaurant Manager. He then ventured toward busier metropolitan areas, making his way to Milan, then London, before finally landing in Hong Kong.
TokyoLima’s vibrant weekend brunches and dinner tables are highly sought after by discerning locals and travellers alike. Lorenzo’s experience, charisma and welcoming smile ensure that guests feel at ease through even the buzziest service periods charged with energy, urgency and excitement.
Stephan Joubert
Executive Chef
Johannesburg-native Stephan honed his early
career chops at international 5-star hotel chains,
such as Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons. He then hit
his creative and leadership stride as Executive Chef
for the renowned Peruvian restaurant group, Cusco
Restaurants, to which he dedicated over a decade
in growing his understanding and appreciation of
Peruvian and nikkei cuisines. Along with it, his desire to imbue both with his own artistry, blossomed.
He moved to Hong Kong in 2019 to oversee Pirata
Group’s cloud kitchen operations, then on to
contemporary Japanese restaurant, Honjo, before
making a homecoming of sorts as TokyoLima’s
Executive Chef in May 2024. A fluent Spanish
speaker, Stephan is excited to narrate the vibrant
story of nikkei cuisine, connecting guests to the
fascinating interplay of cultures and flavours.
