    Travel + Leisure Asia’s Tastemakers 2025/26 presents a curated selection of the 25 best restaurants in Hong Kong, spotlighting the city’s dynamic and world-class dining scene. Compiled by a panel of expert tastemakers and published in late 2025 (with the feature dated around December 2025 to January 2026), this alphabetical list celebrates exceptional culinary excellence, innovation, and diversity—from timeless Michelin-starred establishments to bold, creative newcomers. It emphasizes Hong Kong’s status as a global gastronomic capital, featuring star chefs, alongside a mix of classic Cantonese, fusion creations, sustainable farm-to-table concepts, and international influences.

     

    The list includes standout venues such as Ando (Agustin Balbi’s masterful fusion of Argentine, Spanish, and Japanese flavors in an intimate, open-kitchen setting), Estro (Antimo Merone’s refined Southern Italian tasting menus that showcase technical precision and elegance), Louise (a dual-concept spot with upstairs fine French dining and downstairs bistro vibes under executive chef Loic Portalier), Leela (Manav Tuli’s inventive take on Indian cuisine, featuring bold twists like smoked butter chicken and bone-marrow biryani), Roganic Hong Kong (Simon Rogan’s refreshed, sustainable British-inspired menu with a strong emphasis on local produce and its Michelin Green Star status), Ho Lee Fook (a vibrant, fun Cantonese spot now elevated under chef ArChan Chan’s classical yet crowd-pleasing approach), and others like The Chairman, VEA, and Wing.

    This recognition underscores Hong Kong’s vibrant food landscape in 2025, where many of these restaurants also hold prestigious accolades such as Michelin stars. It’s a must-reference guide for anyone seeking unforgettable dining experiences in the city—reservations are highly recommended!
