#18 Caprice

Four Seasons’ three-Michelin-starred Caprice has climbed up to spot 18 from 32nd place. The classic French menu by Chef de Cuisine Guillaume Galliot is known to integrate global flavours with remarkable technique and restraint.

Sassy Tip: Former cheese master at Caprice, Chef Jeremy Evrard, just opened a new restaurant in Soho, boasting the first-ever cheese omakase concept!

#21 Neighborhood

This Italian restaurant with French influences by Chef-Owner David Lai was demoted to #21 spot, down from last year’s 16th place. With no social media accounts or even a website, perhaps this hidden Hong Kong gem is a little too much of a hole-in-the-wall.

#24 Mono

Asia’s window into refined Latin American gastronomic culture, Mono, got promoted to 24th place this year. Chef Ricardo Chaneton’s seasonally-evolving menu and inventive dishes are well deserving of a top 50 spot!

#32 Estro

This high-end Italian restaurant, which elevates Neapolitan cuisine with a modern touch, has jumped from all the way up from the #71 spot! Chef Antimo Maria Merone is a proud Naples native, and each of his dishes reflect the rich memories of his ancestors, history and childhood.

#41 Ando

Chef Agustin Balbi’s Ando made its first appearance on the list last year at number 37, but has since dropped to the 41st spot. We’ve waxed lyrical about the food at Ando, which unifies Spanish and Japanese influences, and are glad to see the restaurant receive further recognition.
