Hong Kong and Macau’s best restaurants honoured in the 2018 Michelin Guide
The biggest surprise of the 10th Hong Kong and Macau guide was that there were no real surprises. Eight restaurants gained their first Michelin star, including a few that have only been open for a few months
Arcane, Imperial Treasure, Yee Tung Heen and Ying Jee Club are among the restaurants that received their first star in the prestigious dining guide, now in its 10th year.
These restaurants along with Kaiseki Den by Saotome, The Ocean, and Rech by Alain Ducasse were also given the culinary honour of one star, along with Tate by chef/owner Vicky Lau, whose restaurant moved to a larger space on Hollywood Road.
“We are absolutely thrilled that Ying Jee Club has been recognised with a coveted star from Michelin in our very first three months of operation,” says Siu. “It is a great honour for our team to receive a recognition on our dedication to providing an exceptional dining experience.”
Meanwhile Rech, the first international branch of the Parisian seafood restaurant also opened in February in the InterContinental Hong Kong, replacing Spoon by Alain Ducasse. Another French restaurant, The Ocean owned by chef Olivier Bellin in The Pulse was also awarded a star.
