“Chef Stéphane Voitzwinkler, the Executive Chef at the iconic Mister A’s restaurant in San Diego, is a master of gourmet cuisine with a distinguished career. Born in the Alsace-Lorraine region of France, Chef Stéphane began his formal training in the culinary arts at just 13 years old, having developed a love for cooking and fine food from a young age while helping his grandmother prepare meals.
Chef Stéphane moved to San Diego in February 1989, starting at the former Le Meridian Hotel in Coronado. He quickly gained recognition as a gifted chef in the area. His journey continued at the Hyatt Regency’s Sally’s restaurant, where he honed his skills and reputation for innovative, sophisticated cuisine over nine years.
In his role at Mister A’s, Chef Stéphane Voitzwinkler has been instrumental in refining the restaurant’s menu with a modern take on French Provincial cooking. This approach focuses on fresh, light ingredients, eschewing heavy cream and butter sauces for flavorful reductions using fresh vegetables, herbs, wines, and consommés. His cuisine reflects the sophisticated styles of southern France and the Mediterranean.
With over 20 years at the helm of Mister A’s, Chef Stéphane’s culinary style has evolved to include influences from around the world, including Asia, Africa, South America, and the U.S., while still grounded in his formidable French technique. His dishes are known for being simultaneously inventive and grounded in classic flavors, earning him acclaim in San Diego’s culinary scene.”
