Winner: Amber
Perennially ahead of the curve, Amber championed sustainable gastronomy long before it entered the mainstream, earning it three Michelin stars, a devoted following and the near-unanimous vote of our panellists. Under chef Richard Ekkebus, fine dining is reimagined with a lighter touch – eschewing dairy and gluten, while limiting red meat and refined sugars to let carefully selected seasonal produce shine through French-rooted technique. The result is an innovative menu, exemplified by signatures such as uni layered with creamy cauliflower, lobster jelly and premium caviar, presented in a sea urchin-inspired vessel.
Shortlisted nominees
Cristal Room by Anne-Sophie Pic
As the world’s most decorated female chef – with a global portfolio of restaurants that has earned more than 10 Michelin stars – Anne-Sophie Pic knows a thing or two about successful restaurant projects. So, it comes as no surprise that Cristal Room by Anne-Sophie Pic in Hong Kong has garnered rave reviews since opening in late 2023. Guided by her ambitious vision and delicate culinary style, the two-Michelin-starred venue – a Cathay dining partner – offers a menu of French haute cuisine infused with subtle Asian influences, executed at the highest level. If the imaginative wine pairings don’t enchant you, the Baccarat crystal-adorned dining room certainly will.
T’ang Court
Few Cantonese restaurants in Hong Kong can match T’ang Court ’s enduring reputation. With a decades-long legacy at the top and a record-setting run of consecutive years holding three Michelin stars – not to mention a win last year at the Cathay Members’ Choice Awards 2025 – it remains a benchmark for the cuisine. Set within The Langham, Hong Kong, this Cathay dining partner exudes a sense of occasion and grandeur, where tradition and precision take centre stage. Under the stewardship of chef Wong Chi Fai and his seasoned team, the kitchen is a masterclass in Cantonese refinement, from nourishing double-boiled soups to delicately stir-fried lobster and Wagyu, and dim sum elevated to an art form.
Yat Tung Heen
Known for crafting award-winning Cantonese cuisine that’s both accessible and deeply comforting, it’s no wonder Yat Tung Heen remains a long-time favourite among Hong Kong foodies. Having extended its Michelin-star streak to a decade this year, it delivers refined fare in a retro setting that would feel right at home in a Wong Kar-wai film. Fork-tender char siu and delicately marinated cherry tomatoes honour tradition while feeling thoughtfully updated and enhanced. It’s fine dining without the pretension, and all the more memorable for it. Can’t get enough? We’ve partnered with Yat Tung Heen to bring their Hong Kong flavours to select Premium Economy and Economy cabins.
