Meet The Chef

Marcus Wellington

Executive Chef & Co-Founder

"A great steak is not just a meal — it is an emotion. Every cut I serve carries with it years of craft, passion, and an obsession with perfection."

Trained under Joël Robuchon in Paris and refined in Tokyo's finest kappo restaurants, Chef Wellington has mastered both the Western art of butchery and the Eastern philosophy of precision. His signature 45-day dry-aging program and wood-fire techniques have made Royal Flame a destination for discerning palates worldwide.
