No new Michelin stars
The Michelin Guide 2026 for Hong Kong & Macau was released and — notably — this cycle awarded no new stars, with the Guide instead spotlighting the region’s blend of street food creativity and refined fine dining. It’s a sign of stability in the region’s top‑tier scene rather than churn. (travelandleisureasia.com)
The MICHELIN Guide Hong Kong & Macau 2026 lists 278 restaurants in its selection, of which 219 are in Hong Kong and 59 in Macau, and it recognises 98 Michelin‑starred restaurants in total (77 in Hong Kong, 21 in Macau). (michelin.com)) Two Hong Kong venues moved into the two‑star category in this edition: Cristal Room by Anne‑Sophie Pic was promoted to two MICHELIN stars, and L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon re‑entered the two‑star ranks after reopening. (michelin.com)) Four restaurants were newly awarded or promoted to one MICHELIN star in 2026: China Tang and Sushi Takeshi in Hong Kong, and Don Alfonso 1890 and Palace Garden in Macau.
