The Michelin Guide Hong Kong & Macau 2026 honored 98 restaurants overall and set a new record for Hong Kong with 77 starred restaurants — up from last year. Melco Resorts’ Macau properties collectively earned eight Michelin stars, and Jade Dragon at City of Dreams kept its three-star rating for the eighth straight year. (scmp.com) (quiverquant.com)
The ceremony was held on March 19, 2026 at the Grand Lisboa Palace Resort in Macau as the Michelin Guide marked its 18th Hong Kong & Macau selection and the centenary of the MICHELIN Star. (guide.michelin.com)) Two venues were promoted into the Two MICHELIN Stars category this year: Cristal Room by Anne‑Sophie Pic in Hong Kong and L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, which rejoined the two‑star ranks after reopening. (guide.michelin.com)) Four restaurants earned their first MICHELIN Star this edition, including Hong Kong newcomers China Tang and Sushi Takeshi, while Macau saw Don Alfonso 1890 and Palace Garden promoted from the MICHELIN Selected list. (guide.michelin.com)) Five establishments retained MICHELIN Green Star recognition for sustainability: Amber, Feuille, Mora and Roganic in Hong Kong, and UTM Educational Restaurant in Macau. (thebeat.asia)) The Guide introduced a local Mentor Chef Award and handed four individual honours this year — Young Chef went to Kim Gwan‑ju of Sol, the Service Award to Jenny Ye of The Huaiyang Garden, the Sommelier Award to Floriane Hureau of Caprice, and the inaugural Mentor Chef Award to Paul Lau Ping‑Lui of Tin Lung Heen. (thebeat.asia)) Melco’s release named several of its properties singled out by the Guide beyond its headline result, citing Alain Ducasse at Morpheus with Two MICHELIN Stars, and naming Pearl Dragon (Studio City), Ying (Altira Macau) and Sushi Kinetsu (City of Dreams) as maintaining One MICHELIN Star honours while Yí was listed as recommended.
