If you can’t wait to find out which local restaurants will be awarded at the Michelin Guide Hong Kong and Macau 2025 ceremony on March 13, this announcement will pique your interest. This year, 77 establishments across both cities have received the prestigious Bib Gourmand recognition. Hong Kong boasts 66 of these eateries, and nine of these venues are making their debut in the guide.
The Bib Gourmand is awarded to eateries that provide affordable gourmet experiences that consist of three courses (without drinks) for no higher than HKD400 or MOP400. The list includes a range of venues, from casual street food vendors to time-honoured restaurants, all of which make up Hong Kong’s dining scene.
This year’s newcomers include Lulu Baobao, a casual dining spot in Aberdeen that serves Shanghainese dishes like handcrafted noodles and xiao long bao; Chiu Ka Banquet and Hung’s Delicacies, both known for their Chiu Chow classics such as the braised goose in aromatic lo sui marinade; and Keung Kee, a casual Cantonese joint famous for its piping hot bowls of glutinous rice with preserved meats and wok-fried cheung fun.
The list also features global dining venues like Italian-Mediterranean eatery Juno, which whips up dishes like seafood fideo ‘a la cazuela’ or Ibérican-style meatballs; Thai street vendor-inspired joint Thai Pai Dong, known for their drunken noodles and umami-packed Wagyu boat noodles; along with Taiwanese restaurant Art & Taste, serving Taiwanese comfort food like braised beef noodle soup as well as cheese and egg crêpe.
The Michelin Bib Gourmand list also honours streetside vendors like Banana Boy, which fires up crispy banana roti to order in sweet and savoury flavours, and Heartwarming (Prince Edward), a dessert shop specialising in black sesame treats such as soft serve ice cream, pudding, and bouncy sesame rolls.
This year’s Michelin Guide Hong Kong and Macau award ceremony will take place at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau on March 13, and the results will be published in digital form on the Michelin Guide’s website and mobile app on the same day.
