Mina Güçlüer
BELON
Chef Mina Güçlüer is the Chef de Cuisine of BELON, a Michelin-starred modern French restaurant in Hong Kong. Born and raised in Istanbul, she grew up in a food-obsessed household — her father, a longtime concierge, took her to the city's finest restaurants. At 15, a stage at Istanbul's prestigious Divan hotel confirmed her calling. She trained in Berlin and worked at three-Michelin-star Victor's Fine Dining and two-Michelin-star Horváth before moving to Hong Kong, where she joined Amber and then BELON in 2019. Mentored by Chef Matthew Kirkley, Mina's cooking is precise, subtle, and occasionally touched by Turkish influences. She now leads BELON's next chapter.
