The MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong & Macau 2026 named 278 restaurants across the Star, Bib Gourmand and Selected categories and awarded 98 Michelin-starred restaurants — 77 in Hong Kong and 21 in Macau — at a ceremony held at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort on March 19, 2026 (guide.michelin.com) (scmp.com). The three‑Michelin‑star cohort was unchanged, with nine restaurants retaining top honours: Amber, 8½ Otto e Mezzo – Bombana, Caprice, Forum, Sushi Shikon, Ta Vie and T’ang Court in Hong Kong, plus Jade Dragon and Robuchon au Dôme in Macau (guide.michelin.com). Two notable promotions enlarged the two‑star roster: Cristal Room by Anne‑Sophie Pic was promoted to two stars, and L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon was awarded two stars following its relocation and reopening in Central, Hong Kong in late 2025 (guide.michelin.com) (robuchon.hk). Four restaurants earned their first Michelin star this year — China Tang and Sushi Takeshi in Hong Kong, and Don Alfonso 1890 and Palace Garden in Macau — contributing to 15 newly starred entries across the two territories in 2026 (guide.michelin.com) (scmp.com). Five venues retained the MICHELIN Green Star for sustainability: Amber, Feuille, Mora and Roganic in Hong Kong, and UTM Educational Restaurant in Macau, underscoring the Guide’s continued emphasis on eco‑focused operations (guide.michelin.com) (travelandleisureasia.com). The edition introduced a Mentor Chef Award and handed four special prizes: Mentor Chef to Paul Lau Ping Lui of Tin Lung Heen, Young Chef to Kim Gwan‑ju of Sol, Sommelier Award to Floriane Hureau of Caprice, and the Service Award to Jenny Ye of The Huaiyang Garden.
