From fine dining to street food, one of the best things about living in Hong Kong has to be that we are spoilt for choice when it comes to Michelin star restaurants. The 13th and latest version of the guide, the Michelin Guide Hong Kong Macau 2022, lists 71 restaurants in Hong Kong and 15 in Macau that have been given the prestigious stars. Find out who they were here!

Let’s Eat!
In all, it’s an amazing effort by all these restauranteurs, especially in the face of so many challenges over the past 12 months.
Now that we know which restaurants received all the gongs, it’s time to start booking some tables or some takeaway – depending on the current state of play with restrictions. Either way, great food is a guarantee!
