MORA by Chef Vicky Lau and Chef Percy Ho from Hong Kong has debuted on this year’s prestigious selection of the world’s top 1000 restaurants around the world unveiled on 28th November in Paris by La Liste. Recognised as “Outstanding”, MORA is among 100+ featured restaurants from Hong Kong including Lung King Heen, Ecriture, Sushi Shikon, L’Atelier de JoelRobuchon, TATE Dining Room and more. MORA has been honoured further with a New Arrivals of the Year Award 2023, the only restaurant from Asia to be recognised with such prestigious award that have recently opened and been praised by critics, media and guests across the world.
Launched in Paris in December 2015, La Liste is renowned as the French dining guide with restaurants rated on a Parker-style scale, ranging from 80 to 100 with 0.25 increments. The coveted awards list distinguishes the world’s finest global restaurant selection based on the compilation of hundreds of guidebooks and millions of aggregated reviews. Each review score is then converted into a standard grade, after which thousands of reputed chefs are asked to give their opinions on the trustworthiness of each guidebook. The average scoring is determined for each listed restaurant, and customer reviews are given a 10% weighting in the final result, or “La Liste score”.
“We are extremely proud of MORA’s recognition by such a respected global restaurant ranking scheme as La Liste,” says MORA Founder & Executive Chef, Vicky Lau. “In less than a year since opening during what was arguably the most challenging time for the industry, MORA has risen above all expectations to exceed in a new category of cuisine inspired by Hong Kong’s oldest soy-based traditions.”
