Launched in 2013, long before the pandemic slowed the world almost to a halt, 100 Top Tables was a way to pay tribute to Hong Kong’s fine dining offerings, boost our city’s culinary stature and acknowledge the crucial contributions made by enterprising restaurateurs, diligent chefs and their dedicated staff. 100 Top Tables... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/leisure/article/3172265/10-years-100-top-tables-how-scmps-signature-restaurant?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/leisure/article/3172265/10-years-100-top-tables-how-scmps-signature-restaurant?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 31 Mar 2022 00:00:23 +0000 Given Hong Kong’s obsession with French fine dining, it’s no surprise that this year’s newly minted 100 Top Tables Best Chef award winner Maxime Gilbert, and Rising Star Aven Lau, are pushing the boundaries of European influences in their own personal ways. Gilbert went through the traditional culinary route, with training and stints at restaurants and hotels in his native France, before fate brought him to acclaimed chef Yannick Alléno, at Le Meurice in Paris. Gilbert spent the next 10 years,... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/leisure/article/3172103/meet-hong-kongs-best-chef-maxime-gilbert-how-ecritures-100?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/leisure/article/3172103/meet-hong-kongs-best-chef-maxime-gilbert-how-ecritures-100?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 30 Mar 2022 23:50:17 +0000 All it takes for inspiration to take hold is a spark. Whether that inspiration leads to something simple like a wardrobe choice or a lifelong pursuit and successful career – that is a combination of circumstance and personal choice. For Rin Horiuchi, winner of the Best Pastry Chef award from 100 Top Tables 2022, becoming a chef was the furthest thing from his mind when he was growing up in Japan. “Both my parents were office workers. That’s what I always thought I would be when I grew up,” he... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/leisure/article/3172424/why-tirpses-rin-horiuchi-hong-kongs-best-pastry-chef-100?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/leisure/article/3172424/why-tirpses-rin-horiuchi-hong-kongs-best-pastry-chef-100?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 30 Mar 2022 23:40:10 +0000 Is it a coincidence that we introduced two new drink-oriented awards during our second year of Covid-19 restrictions here in Hong Kong? “We’ve got to do something!” is a go-to refrain for people who have been forced to substitute gyms, cinemas and other after-work experiences with drinks at home. Alcohol has long been an escape, as well as a social lubricant, and while good times, celebratory events and other gatherings have been mostly consigned to the sidelines in the past 12 months, our... https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/article/3171539/which-hong-kong-restaurant-has-best-wine-list-and-best-bartender?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/magazines/style/article/3171539/which-hong-kong-restaurant-has-best-wine-list-and-best-bartender?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 30 Mar 2022 23:30:21 +0000 “First impressions are key to enhancing a dining experience, and a good and trained service team is responsible for that.” Restaurant manager Ramon Gonzales understands this sentiment better than most. Gonzales stands at the helm of Chaat – Rosewood Hong Kong’s Indian fine dining restaurant – and is the recent recipient of 100 Top Tables’ Best Service award, which recognises the precision and preparedness that goes into ensuring smooth service and a memorable experience for guests.

Rogan established his own produce farm in Cartmel, northwest England, to supply his first restaurant, the highly acclaimed L’Enclume, and the beginning of his sustainable dining empire.
