As our city lights up with festive displays for the holiday season, our dining scene is also all aglow, thanks to the announcement of the 2019 Michelin Guide for Hong Kong and Macau. The 11th edition of the gastro guide was revealed at the Grand Hyatt Macau this afternoon at an event honouring the biggest talents in the restaurant industry.
New one-star additions include French restaurants Arbor and Belon, as well as New Punjab Club, the first Pakistani restaurant to win a star in Hong Kong. Newcomers Écriture and Sushi Saito both took home two stars for Hong Kong while Alain Ducasse at Morpheus did the same for Macau, despite opening for less than half a year, which might raise a few eyebrows. Meanwhile, on the three-star front, all previous eight restaurants retained their stars while Jade Dragon in Macau was promoted from two to three. The event was probably most significant for chef Guillaume Galliot and his team at Caprice, who managed to regain its three-star status after losing it when former executive chef Vincent Thierry departed in 2014. Scroll down for the full list of Michelin-starred restaurants.
