Raising the bar
Hello,
Last night, Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2024 award ceremony was a cause for high-spirited celebration, with Hong Kong pocketing nine spots on the list. Bar Leone emerged as the toast of the town, crowned Best Bar in Hong Kong and Asia, while also clinching the Highest New Entry Award. A hearty congratulations to all the winners and the tireless bar community that makes Asia such a wonderful place to elevate one’s spirits.
In other news, we had the pleasure of catching up with our own luminaries, speaking to chefs and past winners of the Tatler Dining Awards to see what culinary adventures they’re embarking on. We’ve also curated a list of Hong Kong’s top cafés and coffee shops, perfect for those seeking respite from the heat and, as always, we bring you the latest happenings in the realm of food and drink.
Stay hungry,
