The culinary scene in the 852 is as vibrant as ever, which was evident when the 17th edition of the Michelin Guide Hong Kong & Macau was released on Thursday. This year’s edition, which was unveiled at a ceremony in Macau, features 76 starred restaurants in Hong Kong and 19 in the neighbouring SAR. The Landmark Mandarin Oriental’s Amber secured its third star, while Ami, Plaisance by Mauro Colagreco, and Tuber Umberto Bombana were promoted to one Michelin star.
7 New Three-Star & 9 Bib Gourmand Restaurants
Hong Kong now has seven three-star Michelin restaurants: 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo – Bombana, Amber, Caprice, Forum, Sushi Shikon, Ta Vie, and T’ang Court. In addition, the territory boasts 11 two-star establishments and 58 one-star venues, as well as four Green Star restaurants. Three dining spots in the city lost their stars: Ming Court and Mandarin Grill, which now have “selected” or recommended status, and The Demon Celebrity.
Last week, Michelin also revealed its Bib Gourmand list for 2025 that features nine new Hong Kong additions. The restaurants are selected based on the value-for-money experiences they provide diners, and new entrants include Taiwanese joint Art & Taste, Thai street food specialists Thai Pai Dong, and Mediterranean restaurant Juno.
Hong Kong Talent Honoured at 2025 Michelin Guide Awards
This year’s Michelin Guide recognised outstanding achievements by individuals from Hong Kong’s F&B scene. Carlito Chiu from the one Michelin-starred Andō was bestowed with the Michelin Guide Sommelier Award for his remarkable wine pairings, while Ankôma’s Frankie Sui Wan Wong was honoured with the Michelin Guide Young Chef Award for creatively blending French cuisine with Asian influences.
