For the second year in a row the announcement took place online because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Host Gwendal Poullennec, international director of the Michelin Guides, announced the list of awardees, which came with restaurants in Hong Kong once again unable to serve dine-in customers after 6pm under restrictions to curb the spread of coronavirus.
The two Hong Kong restaurants to earn a second Michelin star are Octavium, where chefs Roland Schuller and Bjoern Alexander earned praise for their mastery of Italian classics and their house-made pasta, and Cantonese restaurant Yan Toh Heen.
The nine Hong Kong restaurants newly awarded a Michelin star are Singaporean chef Barry Quek’s Whey, chef Manav Tuli’s Chaat, Mono, Seventh Son for its time-honoured Cantonese dishes, Yong Fu, which serves Ningbo cuisine, Belon (a re-entry at its new location), Korean chef Mingoo Kang’s relocated Hansik Goo, I M Teppanyaki & Wine (a re-entry after its relocation), and Sushi Wadatsumi (a re-entry – previously Ginza Iwa).
