i. Biography
Seiji Inomoto’s profile is built around a kitchen identity that has held steady enough to read clearly at a glance. At Le Baan Thaï in Ghent, Belgium, the work has been legible to Michelin in 2024 and again in 2025, with Bib Gourmand recognition marking the restaurant as a place where consistency and point of view are doing the heavy lifting. The compact résumé is the point: in a trade that often prizes noise, Inomoto’s name is attached to a restaurant whose signal comes from control, not volume.
Coming Up
Today, Seiji Inomoto is chef of La Table d'Inomoto and chef of Le Baan Thaï. La Table d'Inomoto and the Ghent restaurant sit in the same frame: two current credits, one professional approach. For Inomoto, the work reads as continuity across formats rather than a break from one kitchen to the next.
Where They Are Now
That connection is central to understanding where the cooking is being read and judged. The city provides the setting, but the restaurant is the measure: it is the place where his profile has been defined, and where his reputation has taken shape through the food itself.
Signature
French-Japanese fusion is the shorthand attached to Seiji Inomoto’s cooking, and in trade terms it tells you where the work is calibrated: between two traditions, with neither treated as decoration. That kind of description can flatten into a category if it is not handled carefully, but here it reads as the core of the kitchen’s method. At Le Baan Thaï, and in his current work more broadly, Inomoto’s name is tied to a style that is concise in its terms and deliberate in its balance.
Honors
Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and again in 2025 gives Seiji Inomoto’s work repeated confirmation, not a single isolated mention. The two years matter because they point to steadiness over time, with Le Baan Thaï in Ghent, Belgium sustaining the standard across consecutive recognition. For a chef with a compact profile, that kind of acknowledgment does practical work: it tells peers where the kitchen has landed, and why it has stayed on the map.
