It’s common knowledge that Hong Kong is one of the world’s leading dining capitals. Not only are you spoilt for choice, but the city is also flush with quality. Hong Kong restaurants are recognised by the Michelin Guide, the Black Pearl Restaurant Guide, The World’s 50 Best Restaurants – we could go on. Paris-based restaurant ranking guide La Liste recently released its results for 2025, and two Hong Kong restaurants garnered the highest honours – they also happen to both be housed in the same hotel in Hong Kong.
La Liste’s Top 1000 Restaurants for 2025 honoured Lung King Heen and Caprice at the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong with scores that put them tied in first and second place, respectively, with other exceptional restaurants around the globe. Lung King Heen achieved a remarkable 99.5 score out of 100, placing them at No. 1 with eight other restaurants. It is also the only restaurant specialising in Chinese cuisine to be recognised at the top. Caprice scored 99, putting them at No. 2 with 11 other restaurants.
Lung King Heen’s success stems from the guidance and vision of its executive Chinese chef, Chan Yan-tak. His refined take on Cantonese cuisine, built on meticulous ingredient sourcing and seasonality, represents the pinnacle of modern Chinese gastronomy. Lung King Heen was also the first Chinese restaurant in the world to have been awarded three Michelin stars – it currently holds two. “We are extremely happy and grateful to be recognised by La Liste once again, achieving a near perfection score of 99.5 out of 100 and being the only Chinese restaurant ranked at No. 1,” says chef Chan.
Caprice has long been a bastion of outstanding fine dining worth splurging for. As one of only seven restaurants in Hong Kong holding three Michelin stars, this temple of foodie goodness maintains its excellence thanks to chef Guillaume Galliot, whose masterful understanding of technique, flavour, and skill elevates French cuisine to new heights. Chef Guillaume states, “I’m thrilled for Caprice to be recognised by La Liste once again, with a remarkable score of 99 out of 100. It’s particularly significant this year as La Liste celebrates its 10th anniversary,” noting that the recognition belongs to the entire team.
