- Five newly opened restaurants earn recognition from Michelin, as does Uwe Opocensky at Petrus in Hong Kong, who unveiled his first menus only last month
- Sushi Shikon and Forum earn third stars, and Arbor in Central is awarded two stars, in newly unveiled guide, which gives stars to 90 restaurants
Michelin stars for six-month-old Louise at PMQ, a first star for Petrus, where new executive chef Uwe Opocensky unveiled his first menus in November, and a third star for Forum and Sushi Shikon – these were among the highlights at the unveiling on Tuesday of the 2020 Michelin Guide Hong Kong and Macau.
Another newcomer, Asian super chef Andre Chiang’s restaurant Sichuan Moon, which opened at the Wynn Palace casino in Macau in March, was awarded two stars, as was French restaurant Arbor in Central, Hong Kong.
Run, a Chinese restaurant at the St Regis Hong Kong hotel, and French haute cuisine restaurant Gaddi’s at The Peninsula Hong Kong, were each awarded one Michelin star. Another newcomer at St Regis, L’Envol, also earned one star, and Roganic, which opened in Hong Kong earlier this year, was awarded a Michelin star too.
The guide, in its 12th edition, awarded three stars to 10 restaurants in Hong Kong and Macau, two stars to 19 restaurants and one star to 61 restaurants.
Speaking at its unveiling at the Grand Hyatt Macau, Gwendal Poullennec, director of the Michelin guides, said Michelin inspectors were impressed by the quality of the restaurants in both cities this year.
“There is no doubt Hong Kong and Macau are homes of many culinary talents,” Poullenec said.
