Michelin Guide 2020: The Stars in Hong Kong and Macau Announced

by Fontaine Cheng

The results are in. And with it, stars have been awarded, retained and in some cases, dropped across Hong Kong and Macau. Taking place in the City of Dreams in Macau, talented chefs from the best restaurants across the region gathered for the announcement of the 12th edition of the annual Michelin Guide 2020.

Established since 2009, the Michelin Guide Hong Kong Macau is one of Michelin’s first forays in Asia and now, after one year on the ground, Michelin inspectors have compiled their lists of one, two and three Michelin-starred restaurants based on five criteria. This includes 1) quality of the ingredients used, 2) mastery of flavour and cooking techniques, 3) the personality of the chef in their cuisine, 4) value for money and 5) consistency between visits.

Announced today on Wednesday 17th December by International Director of the Michelin Guides, Gwendal Poullennec, the awards saw a total of 90 restaurants in Hong Kong (70) and Macau (20) receiving the coveted accolade.

The three Michelin-starred restaurant winners and their chefs

There wasn’t much movement in the lists for the highest accolade and remained very similar to 2019 with 7 in Hong Kong and 3 in Macau earning three stars. However, we did see Chef Alvin Leung’s Bo Innovation drop from three to two, while, Forum, mostly known for their signature Ah Yat braised abalone jumped from two stars to three. Sushi Shikon also maintained its three star status, though technically is a ‘new entry’ thanks to its new location in the The Landmark Mandarin Oriental.

The results also saw some promotions with 3 new two-star additions. This includes Hong Kong’s contemporary French restaurant Arbor which, after debuting on the guide last year with one star, claims its second star thanks to Chef Eric Räty’s culinary direction which combines his sophisticated techniques in French cuisine and use of premium Japanese ingredients. Meanwhile in Macau, Cantonese fine dining restaurant Wing Lei in Wynn Macau was awarded its second star, and Wynn Palace’s Sichuan Moon made its debut with two stars. The modern Sichuan restaurant is fronted by celebrated Taiwanese chef André Chiang and run by Malaysian Executive chef Zor Tan.

Michelin’s 2020 selection of the best restaurants also saw 61 establishments emerge with one star, including 11 new Hong Kong entries. The results reflected some inklings that we had ourselves here at Prestige, with some of our favourite new restaurants claiming a star. This included French restaurant L’Envol at The St Regis Hong Kong with Olivier Elzer at the helm, Julien Royer’s new French restaurant Louise, and Roganic by acclaimed chef Simon Rogan. Other highlighted wins include David Thompson’s Thai restaurant Aaharn, Chinese restaurant Rùn, and Japanese restaurants Ryota Kappou Modern and Zest by Konichi.

Speaking highly of all restaurants and chefs involved, Poullennec commented that, “Both cities have their own identity, but are quite similar when it comes to the quality of the cuisine, which is world class.” And he wasn’t wrong. So without further ado, here are the full lists for Hong Kong and Macau’s Michelin-starred restaurants in 2020.
