We highlight the creme de la creme of Michelin Star restaurants in Hong Kong – the absolute best of the best in 2025.
While Hong Kong is known for its fantastic dining scene, it’s never as on full display as when a certain tire company puts out its notorious yearly guide. Call it the Oscars of the dining world – the Michelin Guide puts the spotlight on Hong Kong’s melting-pot community, featuring French, Chinese, and omakase restaurants, among many others. With 76 restaurants in our city recognised with Michelin Stars this year, we’re narrowing down the list to present just a few of our personal favourites (and our go-to orders). Here are some of the best Michelin Star restaurants in Hong Kong that are worth the splurge.
2025 Best Michelin Star restaurants in Hong Kong
1. Amber
Promoted from two to three Michelin Stars in 2025
Watch out – Amber has just levelled up! Though its promotion from two to three Michelin Stars comes as no surprise to us (we still remember how the Aka Uni blew us away during our last visit…) Helmed by the brilliant Dutch-born chef Richard Ekkebus, this French fine dining restaurant is truly a powerhouse of innovation, with seasonal tasting menus that not only highlight the finest produce, but also introduce imaginative flavour combinations never dreamed of before. And it’s not just about the food. We admire Amber’s commitment to sustainability – its Michelin Green Star a testament to its planet-friendly, dairy-free approach. Pro tip: book the kitchen tour for a sneak peek into the magic behind the scenes!
Must-try dishes: Aka uni with cauliflower, lobster, and Royal Cristal Caviar; Blue lobster with bisque, shiso, pickled shallot, charred leek, and menegi; Everything of the Ping Yuen Chicken, served with king crab, morel mushroom, and vin jaune d’Arbois
Price: Weekday lunch goes from $928; weekend lunch from $1,168; dinner from $2,058 per person

Newly awarded with one Michelin Star
Tucked inside Landmark (with a gorgeous outdoor garden, mind you), Ami is a modern French restaurant that feels like a chic escape into the woods, thanks to its forest-inspired decor and casual yet refined vibe. Under the leadership of Executive Chef Nicolas Boutin, who joined in mid-2023, Ami has just earned its first Michelin Star – a well-deserved accolade. Whether you opt for the tasting menus or the all-day a la carte offerings, expect beautifully crafted dishes that blend tradition with innovation, made with premier ingredients and enhanced by classic French sauces.

3. Plaisance by Mauro Colagreco
Newly awarded with one Michelin Star
This oceanic-themed gem is making waves, having just earned its first Michelin Star only a little over a year after opening! A dining concept helmed by world-renowned chef Mauro Colagreco, Plaisance offers a seafood-led menu that dazzles with global ingredients, local vegetables, and French finesse. The ocean-inspired ambience, complete with turquoise hues and mother-of-pearl trimmings, sets the stage for an exquisite dining experience. Don’t miss the house-made sauces and expertly paired wines, too. Psst – visit Plaisance before 31 March to try its special six-course Citrus Menu, designed in commemoration of the Menton Lemon Festival!

4. Tuber Umberto Bombana
Newly awarded with one Michelin Star
The iconic Chef Umberto Bombana, aka the “King of White Truffles,” has scooped up yet another Michelin Star with his creation, Tuber Umberto Bombana. If you’re familiar with Chef Bombana, you’ll recognise him as the mastermind behind 8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana, the only Italian restaurant outside Italy with three Michelin Stars (and has held them for over a decade!). At Tuber, the spotlight is on truffles, and leading the charge is Executive Chef Keith Yam, who’s been by Chef Bombana’s side for over 20 years. We applaud Chef Keith for his unwavering dedication, pouring heart and soul into every dish and ensuring every detail is nothing short of perfection.
Must-try dishes: Artisanal linguine with “carabinero calidad suprema” red prawn and Mazara prawn sauce; truffle claypot rice
Price: Three-course lunch goes from $880; degustation menu from $1,880 per person

Led by Frankie Wong, winner of 2025 Michelin Guide Young Chef Award
Here’s an up-and-coming chef that deserves to be on your radar. Meet Frankie Wong, the recipient of the Michelin Guide 2025 Young Chef Award and the visionary behind Ankoma. A native Hong Konger, Chef Frankie honed his skills at prestigious kitchens like Ecriture and Zest by Konishi before opening Ankoma in 2022. With just eight counter seats, the restaurant offers an intimate dining experience where French and Japanese techniques collide, showcasing vibrant flavours and globally sourced ingredients. Chef Frankie’s goal has always been to create a welcoming, unpretentious atmosphere where guests can enjoy an elevated dining experience – and we wish him the very best as he continues to refine and enhance that journey for us all!

6. Ando

The one-Michelin-Starred Ando is known for its masterful blend of Spanish and Japanese influences in its modern tasting menus. Equally impressive is Carlito Chiu, the restaurant’s Wine Director and the 2025 Michelin Guide Sommelier Award winner. Working alongside Chef Agustin Balbi, Carlito brings his passion for wine and deep respect for terroir to the forefront, crafting personalised pairings that range from sake to Spanish and Argentine wines. In addition to his creativity and expertise, we love how Carlito is dedicated to building genuine connections with guests, making everyone feel right at home. With such seamless harmony of food and wine, it’s no wonder Ando always leaves us buzzing long after the last bite and sip.
