The 18th edition of the MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong & Macao 2026 was released yesterday (March 19), with the region's dining scene shining on the international stage: a total of 77 restaurants earned Michelin stars, breaking last year's record for starred establishments.
This year's guide includes 278 restaurants in total, covering Michelin-starred venues, Bib Gourmand selections, and other listed restaurants — 219 in Hong Kong and 59 in Macao. The guide also introduced, for the first time in Hong Kong and Macao, the Michelin Guide mentor chef award, recognizing chefs dedicated to passing on culinary arts and knowledge to the next generation. In addition, five restaurants retained the Michelin Green Star, underscoring Hong Kong and Macao's commitment to sustainability in dining.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Michelin star. Seven Hong Kong restaurants once again received the highest honour of three Michelin stars: 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo–Bombana; Amber; Caprice; Forum Restaurant; Sushi Shikon; Ta Vie and T'ang Court.
Two Hong Kong restaurants were awarded two Michelin stars for their outstanding cuisine: Cristal Room by Anne-Sophie Pic — the French chef's second restaurant in Asia — was promoted to two stars this year; and the renovated L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon returned to the guide with two Michelin stars, showcasing the essence of French gastronomy. In total, there are 19 two‑Michelin‑star restaurants in the guide this year, including 13 in Hong Kong and 6 in Macao.
