Hong Kong’s diverse culinary scene is studded with stars, thanks to the creativity, resilience, and prowess of new and established talent in the city. This year, nine restaurants will be joining the ranks of the long list of Michelin-starred restaurants in Hong Kong, and seven others will be included as Bib Gourmand selections. The newly starred take your senses on a wild ride to the street stalls of India and the home kitchens of Latin America, into the tile-roofed hanoks of Seoul’s traditional villages and by the immaculate wooden counters serving Japan’s finest seasonal offerings. The Bib Gourmand distinction is awarded to venues that offer high-quality food at budget-friendly prices, where you can have an excellent three-course meal for under HK$400. New honourees this year celebrate traditional Cantonese and Chiu Chow flavours, as well as beloved street food favourites.
In total, the 2022 edition of the guide highlights 71 starred restaurants in Hong Kong, and 64 eateries in Hong Kong as well as seven establishments in Macao for the Bib Gourmand distinction.
