Karl Martin-Boulton

Karl Martin-Boulton is the owner and chef at The Green, a renowned chef’s table restaurant in Hamilton, New Zealand. Formerly the chef at the Old Downton Lodge Restaurant in England, he received recognition in the Michelin Guides from 2017 to 2020. Martin-Boulton expressed excitement about the Michelin Guide's launch in New Zealand but voiced concerns that the inaugural guide, focused on only four cities, does not adequately represent the country's diverse culinary landscape. He advocates for a broader recognition of regional restaurants that contribute significantly to New Zealand's food culture.
