- Philip Howard (born 1966) is a South African-British chef, chef patron, and restaurateur. He gained cooking skills while working under Marco Pierre White at Harveys and Simon Hopkinson at Bibendum. Howard and White's then-business partner Nigel Platts-Martin opened London restaurant The Square in December 1991, despite both of their inexperience in operating a restaurant at the time. While operating The Square, which moved from St James's to Mayfair in 1997, Howard had held Michelin stars from 1994 to 2016. He and Platts-Martin sold and left The Square in March 2016. In September 2016, Howard and his other business partner Rebecca Mascarenhas opened Elystan Street, a former site of one of Tom Aikens's eponymous restaurants in Chelsea. Since 2017, one year after its opening, Howard has held one Michelin star for Elystan Street. Howard also owns a few other restaurants. He has also won accolades, like ones from The Caterer, AA plc, and GQ, and appeared in notably Saturday Kitchen as a guest and Great British Menu as one of its contestants and then one of its veteran chef judges. He has also won special awards like "Chefs' Chef". (en)
