Coming at an incisive moment for the dining scene, the newest edition of the Tatler Dining Guide features more than 180 independent and anonymous restaurant and bar reviews by experts that you can trust
With the worst of the pandemic behind us and the restaurant and hospitality industry making solid strides back towards normalcy, the Tatler Dining Guide 2023 hits bookshelves across Hong Kong at an incisive time amid a changed dining landscape.
Since 1984, the Tatler Dining Guide has been recognising the city's best restaurants, and this year is no different. Get reacquainted with the must-visit dining and drinking spots—and the movers and shakers behind them—that are changing the game, or simply offer a darn good meal.
Written for food lovers by food lovers, the Tatler Dining Guide celebrates the best of Hong Kong’s dining scene and champions the chefs, restaurateurs and tastemakers who create it. With more than 180 independent and anonymous restaurant and bar reviews written by experts and industry insiders, this is a guide you can trust to pinpoint the most coveted places to eat and drink in the city.
At the front of the book, you'll find the highly anticipated Tatler Dining 20 list, which brings together an unranked collection of the city's most interesting, impactful and inspiring restaurants that offer something above and beyond, be it a significant contribution to the industry or a deeper sense of irreplaceability. Announced at our annual Tatler Dining Awards ceremony on January 30, 2023, the Best of the Year awards hone in on the restaurants who have gone above and beyond in the past year, as well as the people leaving an impact or pushing the needle when it comes to Hong Kong's continuously evolving food culture.
For those short of time, we recommend flipping to our Ultimate Dining Cheatsheet to get the lowdown on the best restaurants to head to for any occasion.
Also on the menu are thought-provoking stories about the reinvention of bread in fine dining, a photo essay on Hong Kong’s oldest surviving restaurants, and a look at the current state of regional Chinese restaurants operating in Hong Kong. The leading lights of the F&B industry also share with us the one food moment they've experienced in the past year that has stayed with them since.
