Hong Kong’s top-two rated restaurants in the 50 Best universe traded places last night (Mar. 25) in Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants 2026, with The Chairman taking the number 1 spot and WING dropping one place from 2025’s rankings to number 2.
This is the first time since 2021 that The Chairman has placed at the top of the rankings, a testament to the enduring success of the Cantonese fine-dining restaurant in Sheung Wan.
Hong Kong earned a total of six places on the ranked list, matching Singapore and Seoul’s records, namely with Neighborhood (24), Estro (32), Caprice (35), and MONO (46) also all picking up awards at the ceremony hosted at Rosewood Hong Kong.
Announced earlier in March prior to the ceremony, Zero Foodprint Asia director Peggy Chan of Hong Kong won the Champions of Change Award for her efforts in leading regenerative farming practices in the city, region, and beyond.
The 50 regional restaurants on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list are decided by a 350-plus voting pack stacked with food writers, chefs, restaurateurs, and culinary experts as part of the Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants Academy.
Hong Kong now proudly hosts The World’s Best Bar with Bar Leone, Asia’s Best Restaurant with The Chairman, and The World’s Best Hotel with Rosewood Hong Kong within its city boundaries, a grand achievement for the global hospitality hub.
