The Huaiyang Garden’s chef Jack Xiao went on stage at Macau’s Grand Lisboa hotel on Thursday to accept the award – and said he had been anxious when the restaurant wasn’t among those announced as having one Michelin star.

“My boss told me we have lost our star and I was very nervous for me and my team,” he said. “Thank you, Michelin, I can sleep tonight.”

In Macau, The Eight has been stripped of one of its three stars, and Sun Tong Lok in Tsim Sha Tsui has gone from two stars to one. Meanwhile, Jardin de Jade in the Sun Hung Kai Centre in Wan Chai, Hong Kong, lost the Michelin star it has held since 2013.

Two Macau restaurants have lost their one-Michelin-star status – the Grand Lisboa’s The Kitchen and Wing Lei Palace at Wynn Palace, which recently changed its name to Lakeview Palace after the departure of chef Tam Kwok-fung.

Hong Kong restaurant industry stalwarts Caprice, Forum Restaurant and 8 ½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana kept their coveted Michelin three stars.

The latest Green Star awardee, Feuille, joins Amber, IFTM Educational Restaurant, Roganic and Mora in being recognised for sustainable dining and reducing food waste.

Feuille executive chef Joris Rousseau said the Green Star meant even more than a Michelin star to him, as he feels his efforts to help save the planet are recognised. He thanked his team and the suppliers and farmers he works with to obtain locally sourced produce for the restaurant.

Godenya is a counter restaurant that serves temperature-controlled sake where what’s on the plate is centred around the sake.

Lydia Yung of The Legacy House received Michelin’s 2024 Service Award and Choi Ming-fai of Mora the Young Chef Award.

The publication of the latest edition of the guide comes after a year in which economic tumult in Hong Kong has left many high-end restaurants scrambling for diners while dealing with a shrinking pool of staff as many residents of the city have moved overseas. Some have closed, including holders of Michelin stars The Araki and Écriture.
