Voting is open to Cathay members from Monday, 26 May to Sunday, 15 June. You can learn more about the nominees below.
Any Hong Kong foodie knows that for a truly memorable meal, Amber is the place to go. Helmed by chef Richard Ekkebus, this icon of French haute cuisine has consistently wowed diners since it opened in 2005, going from strength to strength. In addition to attaining three Michelin stars this year, it has also earned a Michelin green star for its commitment to sustainability – a dining trend we can certainly get behind.
Tucked away in a SoHo basement, Ho Lee Fook offers imaginative Cantonese food infused with Hong Kong character. Out-of-towners will love the playful décor, from the peony print wallpaper to the chrome lucky cats that line the entryway. With a great cocktail menu besides, a fun night out is all but guaranteed. Don’t miss the “Ho Lee Duck”, a twist on classic Peking duck, which needs to be ordered 72 hours in advance.
For classic Cantonese fine dining, look no further than T’ang Court . Elegantly appointed in deep red and gold, the Langham’s three-Michelin-starred restaurant is where you go when you want to impress. Its signature tasting menu – featuring stuffed crab shell, stir-fried lobster, imperial bird’s nest and Yoshihama abalone – is a perfect showcase of both the chefs’ prowess and the freshness of the ingredients.
At Wing , Cantonese cuisine is at once revered and reinvented; comfortingly familiar and yet unlike anything you’ve tried before. Executive chef Vicky Cheng offers two tasting menus, both featuring local ingredients prepared with European cooking techniques and unexpected yet delightful flavour combinations. It’s no wonder that Wing made the list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants this year.
Thanks to its small size, Ta Vie delivers a personalised service and unparalleled attention to detail. Combining French cooking techniques with Japanese ingredients, the restaurant regularly changes its menu according to what’s fresh and in season, but you can expect everything to be exquisitely plated, incredibly creative, and utterly delicious. Don’t miss the house-made bread and cultured butter – it’s worth leaving some room for.
