Foodies, listen up. While there’s still a week to go before the 18th edition of the Michelin Guide Hong Kong and Macau takes place on March 19, we’ve got the latest news about 2026’s Bib Gourmand selection fresh off the press. This year, 83 eateries were awarded the prestigious recognition, with 70 Hong Kong venues featured in this year’s roundup, and six of these establishments debuting in the guide.
The Bib Gourmand is awarded to eateries that offer affordable gourmet experiences consisting of three courses (without drinks) priced within HKD400 or MOP400. The list includes a range of venues, from casual street food vendors to time-honoured restaurants, all of which make up Hong Kong’s dining scene.
2026’s newest entries include Dragon’s Den, a retro eatery nestled in a shopping mall at Wong Tai Sin that whips up old-school Cantonese cuisine and dim sum; Lai’s Kitchen, an upscale ode to our city’s timeless dai pai dongs with plates including three-treasure claypot rice; and Ho Ho Chak, a Chiu Chow restaurant that serves the Chaoshan region’s classics such as steamed pork patty with mud crab.
This year’s list also extends to international restaurants, which include pizzeria Fiata by Salvatore Fiata, known for its award-winning Neapolitan pizzas made with Italian DOP (Denominazione d’Origine Protetta) certified ingredients; cosy Thai joint Siaw, which showcases tried-and-true dishes like boat noodles and pork and holy basil stir-fry; and Uncle Quek, chef Barry Quek of Whey’s casual dining spot that reimagines homestyle Southeast Asian plates, such as lobster laksa and cereal-crusted fried chicken.
The 2026 Michelin Guide Hong Kong and Macau award ceremony will take place at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau on March 19, and the results will be published in digital form on the Michelin Guide’s website and mobile app on the same day.
